The film is based on the short story of the same name by Annie Proulx and stars Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as two ranch hands who develop a romantic and sexual relationship while working on a sheep drive in the 1960s.

The film was well-received by critics and audiences alike, and it was widely praised for its sensitive and nuanced portrayal of a same-sex relationship.
