Winner of a slew of awards at the 1969 Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), Midnight Cowboy is gritty yet warm story of an affectionate friendship between two drifters (Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman) in a decaying late-1960s New York.

Featuring landmark performances from its two leads and an iconic musical score, BFI Distribution celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Midnight Cowboy with a new digital 4K restoration.
