Midnight Cowboy | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its original release, '''Midnight Cowboy' is still heartbreaking - and timeless" ('The New York Observer'). This Academy Award? winner for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay also boasts Oscar?-nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, neither of whom have "ever been better on screen than they are here" ('Chicago Tribune')!

When Joe Buck (Voight), a good-looking, naively charming Texas "cowboy" makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo (Hoffman), a scrounging, sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond - one that transcends their broken dreams and get-rich-quick schemes and makes 'Midnight Cowboy' "that rarest of things: [a film] every bit as moving now as it was when it was [first] released" ('Premiere' Magazine).
