It is the story of three lost men: Johnny "Red" Pollard (Tobey Maguire), a young man whose spirit had been broken; Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges), a millionaire who lost everything; Tom Smith (Chris Cooper), a cowboy whose world was vanishing. They found each other and discovered hope in an unlikely place. The odds were incredible. The dream was impossible. And somehow, it actually happened.
