In 1969, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight hustled themselves into cinematic history with the release of “Midnight Cowboy”.
Texas male prostitute Joe Buck (Jon Voight) seeks his fortune in New York City aided by a low level con man (Dustin Hoffman) and together they encounter a city that never cooperates with their schemes.
A “Best Picture”, “Best Director” and “Best Screenplay” winner at the 1970 Academy Awards, “Midnight Cowboy” would be at the forefront of a new wave of filmmaking that would carry through the 1970’s and remains a must see film to the present day.
