Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a 2011 British romantic comedy-drama film directed by Lasse Hallstr?m and starring Emily Blunt, Ewan McGregor and Kristin Scott Thomas. The screenplay is by Simon Beaufoy, based on a novel of the same name by Paul Torday. Principal photography began on August 6, 2010 and was shot on location for nine weeks in London, Scotland and Morocco.The film premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

Alfred "Fred" Jones (McGregor) is Britain's leading government expert in fisheries. When a consultant, Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Blunt), representing a wealthy Sheik (Waked), asks Fred for help to fulfill the Sheik's vision of salmon fishing in the Yemen, he rejects the idea as infeasible in that desert location. Then the Prime Minister's press secretary, Patricia Maxwell (Thomas) fastens on it as a "good will" story to distract the voters from bad news from Afghanistan, and she pressures Fred into implementing the project to bring water and salmon fishing to a dry river in the Highlands of Yemen. Fred, estranged from his wife, falls in love with Harriet, who has a boyfriend, Robert (Mison), missing in action in the war, who returns just after Fred declares his love to Harriet, leaving Harriet to have to choose between the two men. As the fish are released and instinctively swim upstream, the project seemed to have succeeded, however, it is sabotaged by local militants, destroying the salmon runs. But when Fred sees some fish have survived, he regains his faith, and Harriet joins him to fulfill the Sheik's vision.

《到也門釣鮭魚》講述一位有錢的也門大公找上了英國漁業(yè)中心的鐘斯博士（伊萬·麥克格雷格），希望他幫忙一圓一個(gè)最詭異的夢想：將北大西洋鮭魚引進(jìn)也門沙漠的旱川。鐘斯當(dāng)然斥為癡人說夢，可是在首相秘書長（克里斯汀·斯科特·托馬斯）極其狂熱的尋找一個(gè)好的新聞故事的壓力下、大公源源不絕的金援支持下，一個(gè)精英團(tuán)隊(duì)組建起來——似乎誰也擋不住奇跡的必然發(fā)生！

萊塞·霍爾斯道姆近幾年在好萊塢來完全沉浸在濫情故事中，多年未有什么像樣的作品問世，這次回歸歐洲，請來伊萬·麥克格雷格、艾米莉·布朗特與克里斯汀·斯科特·托馬斯等全英國班底助陣，不知能否有更好的表現(xiàn)？
