Jeff Bridges stars as a dreamy-eyed Iowa farm boy who heads to Hollywood in the 1930s with hopes of becoming a screenwriter. Instead, he becomes a star of low-budget Westerns. An offbeat comedy with a wonderful ensemble cast featuring Academy Award-winner Bridges ("Seabiscuit," "Fearless"), Emmy-nominee Andy Griffith (TV's "Matlock" and "The Andy Griffith Show"), Tony-winner Blythe Danner ("Meet the Parents," TV's "Huff"), Oscar-winner Alan Arkin ("Little Miss Sunshine," "Slums of Beverly Hills), and Emmy-winner Alex Rocco ("The Godfather," "Smokin' Aces").

Hearts of the West Film Synopsis

Naive Iowa farm boy Lewis Tater dreams of being a famous Western novelist like his hero, Zane Grey. He leaves home to answer a writing correspondence course's ad for on-campus classes, only to discover that the school consists of a row of postboxes at an isolated Nevada train depot. On the run from the con men responsible, Lewis stumbles across "real" cowboys--cowboy actors shooting a movie in the desert. The would-be writer soon finds himself instead acting in Westerns, for the rundown Tumbleweed Productions studio, in Depression-era Hollywood.

Pусский
Веселая и задушевная история о деревенском мальчике (Джефф Бриджес), который в 1930-х годах едет в Голливуд, чтобы играть там ковбоев и делать вестерны. Юный герой изображен со вкусом и обаянием; прекрасно играют также Алан Аркин и Энди Гриффит. В целом это отличная смесь романтики и напряжения, грусти и комедийности.

Español
El ingenuo granjero de Iowa Lewis Tater sueña con ser un famoso novelista del Oeste como su héroe, Zane Grey. Se marcha de casa para responder al anuncio de un curso de escritura por correspondencia que también ofrece clases en el campus, pero descubre que la escuela es una estafa: consiste en una hilera de buzones en una estación de tren aislada de Nevada. Huyendo de los estafadores responsables, Lewis se topa con vaqueros "de verdad": actores vaqueros que ruedan una película en el desierto. El aspirante a escritor pronto se encuentra actuando en películas del Oeste, para el estudio Tumbleweed Productions, en el Hollywood de la era de la Depresión.

Nederlands
Op zijn zoektocht naar het Wilde Westen komt een ambitieuze jonge westernschrijver terecht in het Hollywood van de jaren '30. Hij krijgt weliswaar een baantje als cowboyfigurant, maar komt al snel tot de teleurstellende conclusie dat de grote westernmythes het moeten afleggen tegen de banale praktijken binnen de filmwereld.

Italiano
Un giovanotto di belle speranze vuole diventare uno scrittore di romanzi del West come il suo idolo Zane Grey e va in California in cerca di ispirazione. Diventa invece un attore nei primi "cappelloni" della storia del cinema. Tuttavia riuscirà a realizzare il suo sogno (anche per l'intervento di un autentico ex grande cowboy - ora ridotto a semplice comparsa - che lo salva a pistolettate da due rapinatori) e a sposare la bella segretaria di produzione.
