## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A big movie about big things, mostly. Leslie arrives in Texas and marries wealthy rancher Bick, much to the chagrin of cowboy Jett. Oil is found, fortunes change, and attitudes clash over a period of decades. It’s certainly a film of significant length.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, epic, slow-burn, tender
