Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Based on actual events. Brandon Teena is the popular new guy in a tiny Nebraska town. He hangs out with the guys, drinking, cussing, and bumper surfing, and he charms the young women, who've never met a more sensitive and considerate young man. Life is good for Brandon, now that he's one of the guys and dating hometown beauty Lana; however, he's forgotten to mention one important detail. It's not that he's wanted in another town for GTA and other assorted crimes, but that Brandon Teena was actually born a woman named Teena Brandon. When his best friends make this discovery, Brandon's life is ripped apart. Written by Zhe |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Hilary Swank was living as a man to prepare for the role of Brandon Teena, her neighbors believed that the young man coming and going from Swank's home (Swank in male character) was her visiting brother. See more » |
| Goofs | Near the beginning of the movie when Brandon's wallet spills to the floor, his license clearly is an Iowa driver's license. Yet towards the end after the rape scene, Brandon tells Lani she has never left Lincoln, Nebraska. In fact, it is common for fake ids (which Brandon has) to be out-of-state ids, since this makes authentication more difficult. See more » |
