If you build it, he will come. That's the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, he seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is Ease his pain. He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is Salingeresque writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is Doc Graham (Burt Lancaster), a beloved general practitioner who gave up a burgeoning baseball career in favor of medicine. The final second-chancer turns out to be much closer to Ray. That magical field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lovely film
This is my favourite film of all time. I cried like a baby the first time I watched it and thought it was a one-off but I've since watched it two or three ... read more »

Please do see it if you haven't already done so
OK so it is far-fetched, ethereal, logic-skipping, and very American but this is a fantastic film. Every time I see it I enjoy it and it always makes me want to... read more »

ill thought through wishful thinking
Strange wishy washy mix of quasi religion and wishful thinking. It had an pleasant 'wish upon a star' kind of quality but no real message just a kind of... read more »
The property featured in Kevin Costner's iconic baseball movie Field Of Dreams has been snapped up by investors who plan to turn the site into a sporting mecca. The Iowa land was put on the market last year (May10) by owners Don and Becky Lansing, who have maintained the cornfield and baseball diamond built by Universal Studios crew workers for the 1989 film. Now the site's legacy is to be preserved after it was purchased for an undisclosed amount by Go the Distance Baseball bosses, who have... Read more
