![]() ![]() ![]() The heart of the film is in Big Sky country, where Booker runs a cattle ranch with his brother Frank ( Chris Cooper) and Frank's wife, Diane ( Dianne Wiest). Her daughter fears "no one will ever want me" with only one leg if the horse heals, Annie thinks, maybe Grace will heal, too. Booker (Redford) turns her down over the phone, but she's a Type A compulsive who decides to drive both the horse and her daughter to Montana and confront him directly. ![]() Their farm workers believe the horse should be put down (it's fearful and skittish), but Annie reads about a famed "horse whisperer" named Tom Booker who heals troubled animals. The girl's parents are high-powered Manhattanites: The father ( Sam Neill) is a lawyer, and the mother, Annie (Kristen Scott Thomas), is clearly modeled on New Yorker editor Tina Brown. The story, from the best-selling novel by Nicholas Evans, involves a riding accident that leaves a horse named Pilgrim crippled, and a girl named Grace ( Scarlett Johansson) so badly injured that part of her leg must be amputated. ![]()
