From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ang Lee comes an epic American love story, based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx and adapted for the screen by the team of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. Set against the sweeping vistas of Texas and Wyoming, this cinematic masterpiece tells the story of two young men: soft-spoken ranch-hand Ennis (Heath Ledger) and rodeo cowboy Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection. This beautifully crafted film follows their story: the complications, joys and tragedies. In the end, Brokeback is an umistakable testament to the endurance and power of love.
