It is the story of three lost men-Johnny "Red" Pollard (Tobey Maguire), a young man whose spirit had been broken; Charles Howard (four-time Oscar® nominee Jeff Bridges), a millionaire who lost everything; and Tom Smith (Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper), a cowboy whose world was vanishing-who found each other and discovered hope in an unlikely place.



The odds were incredible. The dream was impossible. And somehow, it actually happened.



Nominated for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2004 Oscars.
