 Synopsis: True West is about the antagonistic relationship of two brothers,
Lee, a slovenly drifter and cat burglar, and Austin, an up-and-coming
screenwriter. Set in rural California, the action begins when Lee turns up
unexpectedly at his mother's house, now being tended by his more "stable"
brother. In the course of a few days, they reverse roles after Lee "sells" a
story of an old-fashioned western to a Hollywood producer and then tries to
get his more talented sibling to write the script.
