【简介】
1963年的灿烂夏日，怀俄明西部，年轻的牛仔杰克·特维斯特(杰克·吉伦希尔饰)与恩尼斯·德尔玛(希斯·莱吉饰)因同为牧场主乔·阿桂尔(兰迪·奎德饰)打工而相识，杰克比较健谈，且骑术高超，恩尼斯自幼父母双亡，性格内向寡语。人迹罕至的断背山深处，高山牧场的放羊工作单调而艰苦，随时有遭遇野兽袭击的可能，一人不得不看守羊群，和羊群睡在一起。起初二人一个放羊，一个看营地，少有交流。直到有一天，二人晚饭时喝多了酒，是夜又分外寒冷，于是杰克与恩尼斯同帐共裘而眠，在酒精与荷尔蒙的作用下，他们之间发生了“不该发生的事”。
空虚寂寥让两个19岁的青年彼此相爱了，一个人做饭，另一个放羊，篝火边长谈，帐篷内欢爱，同性间的纯美真爱伴随二人度过了人生中最美好的一段夏日时光。

Ennis Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames.
The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft.
He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan; the flame swathes it in blue.
He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on.
The wind booms down the curved length of the trailer and under its roaring passage he can hear the scratching of fine gravel and sand.
It could be bad on the highway with the horse trailer.
