In 1963, rodeo cowboy Jack Twist and ranch hand Ennis Del Mar are hired by rancher Joe Aguirre as sheep herders in Wyoming.

One night on Brokeback Mountain, Jack makes a drunken pass at Ennis that is eventually reciprocated.

Though Ennis marries his longtime sweetheart, Alma and Jack marries a fellow rodeo riders, the two men keep up their tortured and sporadic affair over the course of 20 years.

'The whole movie is a rich, spacious, passionate way of showing, not telling, feelings that dare not speak their name and doing so with superb intelligence and magnificent candour' - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
