Brad Pitt plays Tristan Ludlow, the middle son of Colonel Ludlow. In the film he is young, handsome, and unapologetic for his light nature. In the film he ends up going to war and experiences some horrendous experiences. A powerful scene in the movie is when he sneaks into the enemies’ camp and kills all his foes with nothing but his bare hands and a bayonet.

Looking back on Brad Pitts career in movies, many consider Legends of the Fall to be his breakout role. Up to that point he had performed some memorable pit parts in both True Romance and Thelma and Louise, but it wasn’t until Legends of the Fall that Brad Pitt became a worldwide movie star. After Legends of the Fall, Brad Pitt went on to enjoy success in a number of other high profile films, but many critics have suggested that his later work lacks the scope of his breakout role.

It’s funny how things could have been different. Legends of the Fall was original created as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise and Sean Connery. If the fates had aligned differently women the world round would be swooning over some other actor and Brad Pitt may still be living in obscurity.
