Of Mice and Men

Two good friends, Lennie (John Malkovich) and George (Gary Sinise), find themselves out of work during the Great Depression, with little chance of finding a job because of Lennie's intellectual disability. When they are hired at the Tyler Ranch, they see their lives start to improve despite the strict supervision of Curley (Casey Siemaszko), the boss's unpleasant son. But their world begins to crumble when Curley's unhappy wife (Sherilyn Fenn) becomes an innocent victim of Lennie's compassion, forcing George to choose between his friend and himself.
