Directed by Ang Lee and starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain is often considered an important milestone in mainstream LGBTQ cinema.
Rodeo cowboy Jack (Gyllenhaal) and ranch hand Ennis (Ledger) are hired as sheepherders in 1963 Wyoming. During their long months of isolation in the mountains, the two develop a bond that becomes a passionate, tragic, decades-long love affair.
