The film documents their relationship over the next twenty years.
Ennis and Jack first meet when they are hired by Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid) to herd his sheep through the summer. After a night of heavy drinking, Jack makes a sexual pass at Ennis, who initially rejects, then allows Jack's advances. Although he warns Jack it was only a one-time incident, they develop a physical and emotional relationship. Shortly after learning their summer together is being cut short unexpectedly, they briefly fight, during which each is bloodied.
After the two part ways, Ennis marries his long-time fiancée Alma Beers (Michelle Williams) and fathers two children. Jack returns the next summer, but Aguirre, who witnessed Jack and Ennis on the mountain, does not hire him. Jack eventually meets, marries and starts a family with rodeo princess Lureen Newsome (Anne Hathaway). After four years, Jack visits Ennis. Upon meeting, the two kiss passionately, which Alma accidentally oversees. Jack broaches the subject of creating a life together on a small ranch, but Ennis, haunted by a painful childhood memory of the torture and murder of a man suspected of homosexual behaviour in his hometown, refuses. He also is unwilling to abandon his family. Ennis and Jack continue their relationship, meeting for infrequent fishing trips.
The marriages of both men deteriorate. Alma and Ennis eventually divorce. Ennis continues to see his family regularly until Alma, finally revealing her knowledge of the nature of his relationship with Jack, has a violent argument with him. Meanwhile, Lureen has abandoned her rodeo days and become a businesswoman with her father and expects Jack to work in sales. Hearing about Ennis's divorce, Jack drives to Wyoming in hopes they can live together, but Ennis refuses to move away from his children. Jack finds solace with male prostitutes in Mexico. Meanwhile, Ennis meets and later has a brief romantic relationship with a waitress, Cassie Cartwright (Linda Cardellini). Jack and Lureen meet and befriend another couple, Randall and Lashawn Malone; Randall gives the impression to Jack that he is open to homosexuality
