In 1963 Wyoming, two young cowboys, Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, take a summer job herding sheep on the slopes of the titular mountain. Over two months, the men (almost completely isolated from the rest of the world) first strike up a friendship, then a romance. However, they mutually see this as ending along with the job, especially as Ennis is engaged to Alma Beers back home. They go their separate ways; Ennis marries Alma and raises a family with her, and Jack finds his own wife and family with Lureen Newsome.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Joe Aguirre, at least in the original short story. His snide observation that Jack and Ennis were being paid to look after sheep rather than "stemming the rose" is crude, and no doubt reflects as much bigotry as pragmatism, but he's not wrong -- losing even a few animals to the mountain has a big impact on ''everyone's'' jobs. (A recurring theme in ''Close Range'', the story collection that includes "Brokeback Mountain," is the thin margin between survival and ruin in the rural West.)
