SYNOPSIS

Released October 20th


Director and Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton and Academy Award-winning producer Mike
Nichols bring Cormac McCarthy's popular, best-selling novel ALL THE PRETTY HORSES to the
screen, telling the story of resilient, dispossessed Texas teenager John Grady Cole (Oscar winner
Matt Damon), who sets off on horseback for Mexico and comes of age. 

When his mother sells the ranch where he grew up, John Grady embarks on a search for adventure
and meaning in his life with pal Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas). Lured south of the border by the
romance of cowboy life, the precocious horsemen pick up a 13-year-old misfit sidekick named
Blevins (Lucas Black) and eventually arrive at a hacienda where they are hired to break horses.
There, John Grady falls into an ill-fated love affair with Alejandra (Latina sensation Penelope Cruz),
the beautiful daughter of a wealthy ranch owner. But when the romance culminates in arrest,
Mexican jail and a murder in self-defense, John Grady must put his taste for adventure aside and
rely on the purity of his spirit and his sensibility to find the strength to persevere.
