Ang Lee's adaptation of E. Annie Proulx's story Brokeback Mountain stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as young cowboys named Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar. Each of them is hired to corral sheep on the title location and they soon bond very closely. Their platonic relationship explodes into a physical one, but eventually the two are separated when their job comes to an end. Although the two follow different life paths -- one becoming a father of two and the other marrying into a successful business -- they have a reunion years later. Each is affected profoundly by the rekindling of their old feelings for each other. Those feelings lead each to consider what continuing their hidden relationship would cost them. The screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are the main players in Ang Lee's film adaptation of Annie Prouix's short story set in early '60s Wyoming. Ledger and Gyllenhaal are two gay cowboys, who unexpectedly fall in love while out sheepherding, but in the years that pass, they would subsequently marry two beautiful women and each raising a family, even though, they continue their relationship despite the fact they're aware of the consequences of such a forbidden lifestyle. Ang Lee won an Academy Award as Best Director along with Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, who won for Best Screenplay Adaptation, and Gustavo Santaolalla won for Best Original Score.
