Plot: It is a cold winter night. Grace MacLean (Scarlett Johansson) and her best friend Judith (Kate Bosworth) go for a ride with their horses, but a terrible accident changes their lives forever. A truck hits them, Judith and her horse are killed, while Grace and her horse Pilgrim are seriously injured, both physically and mentally. In an attempt to bring Pilgrim back from his now savage condition, Grace's mother Annie (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas) takes them to Montana in search of Tom Booker (Robert Redford). Tom is a "horse whisperer", a cowboy with the ability to "communicate" with horses. In the land of the Wild West, Annie will change the way she sees life forever, as the wise cowboy slowly heals the souls of Pilgrim and Grace.
Alternative Plot: When teenage Grace (Scarlett Johansson) is traumatized by a riding accident that badly injures her horse, her mother Annie (Kristin Scott Thomas), a high-powered New York magazine editor, realizes Grace will only recover once the horse is healed. She takes them both to a secluded Montana ranch, where legendary "horse whisperer" Tom Booker (Robert Redford) begins to heal the horse, and also stirs long-dormant feelings in Annie that lead her to question her marriage and choice of career.
