Of Mice and Men is a 1992 American drama film starring John Malkovich and Gary Sinise, directed and produced by Gary Sinise. It is the third movie adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1937 novel of the same name, and was preceded by the 1939 film version and the 1981 television movie. George Milton is in a train boxcar, reminiscing upon the events that have just happened. He thinks back to when he and his companion Lennie Small , who has a moderate intellectual disability, are fleeing from their previous employment in Weed. They were run out of town after Lennie was accused of attempted rape when... he touched and held onto a young woman's pretty red dress . After running from Weed, George and Lennie are trying to attain their shared dream of settling down on their own piece of land. Lennie's part of the dream, which he never tires of hearing George describe, is merely to have soft rabbits on the farm, which he can pet. The two go to work at a ranch named Tyler Ranch. At the ranch, the dream appears to move closer to reality.
