Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field tell him, “If you build it, he will come.” He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field. —IMDb
reminds me of local hero, warm, beautiful. Can't go wrong with costner at his peak either!
fantastic story about life, decisions made, not made. lancaster is wonderful in his supporting role.
The ooey gooey sentimentalism on display could inspire Spielberg for the rest of his career and might have. But for some reason this movie makes it stick with me and i can't really explain it.
