Description: Teenager Grace MacLean (Scarlett Johansson) and her best friend Judith (Kate Bosworth) go out early one winter's morning to ride their horses, Pilgrim and Gulliver. As they ride up an icy slope, Gulliver slips and hits Pilgrim. Both horses fall, dragging the girls onto a road and colliding with a truck. Judith and Gulliver are killed, Teenager Grace MacLean (Scarlett Johansson) and her best friend Judith (Kate Bosworth) go out early one winter's morning to ride their horses, Pilgrim and Gulliver. As they ride up an icy slope, Gulliver slips and hits Pilgrim. Both horses fall, dragging the girls onto a road and colliding with a truck. Judith and Gulliver are killed, while Grace and Pilgrim are both severely injured. Grace, left with a partially amputated right leg, is bitter and withdrawn after the accident. Meanwhile, Pilgrim is traumatized and uncontrollable to the extent that it is suggested he be put down. Grace's mother, Annie (Kristin Scott Thomas), a strong-minded but workaholic magazine editor, refuses to allow Pilgrim to be put down, sensing that somehow Grace's recovery is linked with Pilgrim's.

Desperate for a way to heal both Grace and Pilgrim, Annie tracks down a "horse whisperer", Tom Booker (Robert Redford), in the remote Montana mountains. Tom agrees to help, but only if Grace also takes part in the process. Grace reluctantly agrees, and she and Annie go to stay at the Booker ranch where Tom lives with his brother and his brother's family. As Pilgrim and Grace slowly overcome their trauma, Annie and Tom begin to have mutual romantic feelings. However, they are both reluctant to act on these feelings – Annie is married and Tom had his heart broken before, when his wife left him because she belonged to the city, not the ranch.

The status quo is broken when Robert MacLean (Sam Neill), Grace's father and Annie's husband, unexpectedly shows up at the ranch. Annie is increasingly torn by her feelings for Tom and her love for her family. Soon, with Tom's help, Grace finally takes the last step to heal herself and Pilgrim – riding Pilgrim again. As the MacLeans get ready to leave the Booker ranch, Robert tells Annie that he knew Annie was in love with Tom, and gently asks Annie to make her decision one way or another before going home. Although Annie wishes she could stay with Tom on the ranch, she also knows that she belongs to the city, just like Tom's wife. The film ends with Annie driving away from the ranch, while Tom watches her go from the top of a hill.

My Film-related Dreams (6 movies items)

"The King of Horses Marlon Brando owns horse breeding grounds where he breeds the best kind of race horses in the world. His scientists have invented a new method where they can fertilize the same egg multiple times. When this method is used, the best features of every stallion are combined, resulting in super horses being bred. The problem with this method is that it can only be put to use by natural means, so every stallion would have to have sex with the same horse or it wouldn't work. Brand"

Petri's Movie Diary - 2012 Edition (629 movies items)

"23.1.2012 Ei läheskään niin sokerinen kuin vuosien mittaan elokuvasta muodostamieni mielikuvien perusteella odottelin. Kasvutarinana ihan pätevä. Scarlett Johansson on hevosensa kanssa onnettomuuteen joutuva teinityttö. Tyttö ja hevonen selviävät, mutta eivät vammoitta ja ankara paraneminen alkaa. Robert Redford on mies joka tarjoaa lääkkeet niin hepalle kuin tytön kiireiselle päätoimittaja-äidillekin, jota esittää mainiosti Kristin Scott Thomas. Lähes kolmen tunnin kesto on "
