Plot Summary

Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Wyoming’s rugged mountains, Brokeback Mountain tells the heart-wrenching story of two young cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, who meet in 1963 while working as sheep herders on the remote Brokeback Mountain.

What begins as a simple job in the wilderness turns into an unexpected and intense connection—a love that neither of them anticipated nor fully understands. But as they return to their everyday lives, they are forced to conform to societal expectations, marrying women and trying to suppress their true feelings.

Despite the years and distance, their bond remains unbreakable, leading to secret meetings and painful moments of longing. As they navigate the harsh realities of a world that refuses to accept their love, Brokeback Mountain becomes a tale of passion, sacrifice, and the devastating consequences of love constrained by time and tradition.
