What happens

Of Mice and Men is a 1992 American period drama film produced and directed by Gary Sinise, adapted by Horton Foote from John Steinbeck's 1937 novella of the same name. It stars John Malkovich as the intellectually disabled Lennie and Sinise as George, two farm workers who travel together and dream of one day owning their own land. Like the novella, it explores themes of discrimination, loneliness, and the American Dream, as well as the desire for a place to call home. This is the second theatrical film adaptation of Steinbeck's novel, following the 1939 film. It premiered at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. Of Mice and Men was released in the United States on October 2, 1992 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, to positive reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
