About this product

Product Information

Ron Howard's epic tale tells the story of two Irish immigrants' quest for land during the 1890s Oklahoma land rush. Tom Cruise stars as Joseph Donnelly, an ambitious young farmer in western Ireland. When a local protest against wealthy landlord Daniel Christie (Robert Prosky) results in the death of his father, Joseph seeks revenge. But his attempt at vengeance is thwarted by Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the landlord's high-spirited and headstrong daughter, who stabs Joseph with a pitchfork. While convalescing at the Christies' manor, Joseph is propositioned by Shannon, who asks him to travel with her to America--where she is determined to acquire some of the free land being given away in the Oklahoma Territory. Arriving in Boston, Joseph acts as protective brother to Shannon in the foreign city streets as they struggle to earn the money to travel out west.

  • Fascinating insight into Irish American emigration in late 18th Century

    This film showed some of the reasons behind emigration from Ireland to America in the late 1800s. It was quite a gruelling watch at times and not for the faint-hearted but very worthwhile. It was hard going to begin with scenes in Boston based on boxing and the poverty of new immigrants heart wrenching, It felt every much a man's film but the romantic story line was bitter sweet and the feisty, strong willed heroine felt bang up to date. The changes in status, lifestyle and developing love grew gradually into compelling viewing. It was a film that made you think long after it was finished.

  • An engaging story and full of action.

    A film which captivates from the outset. The characters are engaging and a serious subject is cleverly made light and amusing in parts. All the actors play great parts.
