Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a 2011 British romantic comedy-drama film directed by Lasse Hallström 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.

沪江娱乐：由《狗脸的岁月》、《浓情巧克力》导演莱塞·霍尔斯道姆执导，伊万·麦克格雷格、艾米莉·布朗特与克里斯汀·斯科特·托马斯主演的《到也门钓鲑鱼》讲述的是一个“伟大”的梦想：把北大西洋的鲑鱼引到也门的沙漠中。不过，你知道，电影不会把这拍成什么中东大款的烧钱计划，它的魅力在于，经过种种编排这个故事最终变为一个人追求梦想的旅程。

《到也门钓鲑鱼》讲述一位有钱的也门大公找上了英国渔业中心的钟斯博士（伊万·麦克格雷格），希望他帮忙一圆一个最诡异的梦想：将北大西洋鲑鱼引进也门沙漠的旱川。钟斯当然斥为痴人说梦，可是在首相秘书长（克里斯汀·斯科特·托马斯）极其狂热的寻找一个好的新闻故事的压力下、大公源源不绝的金援支持下，一个精英团队组建起来——似乎谁也挡不住奇迹的必然发生！

莱塞·霍尔斯道姆近几年在好莱坞来完全沉浸在滥情故事中，多年未有什么像样的作品问世，这次回归欧洲，请来伊万·麦克格雷格、艾米莉·布朗特与克里斯汀·斯科特·托马斯等全英国班底助阵，不知能否有更好的表现？

《到也门钓鲑鱼》由《贫民窟的百万富翁》编剧西蒙·比尤弗伊执笔，曾入选今年多伦多电影节。影片将于明年3月2日美国上映。本片还是2012年棕榈泉国际电影节的开幕影片。
