Field of Dreams is a 1989 American fantasy-drama film on DVD, directed by
Phil Alden Robinson and starring Kevin Costner.
Nominated for three Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Adapted
Screenplay, Phil Alden Robinson's Field of Dreams is a mesmerizing tale of
resilience, faith and conviction. Inspired by a voice he can't ignore to pursue
a dream he can hardly believe, struggling Iowa corn farmer Ray Kinsella (Academy
Award® winner Kevin Costner, Dances With Wolves) faces one of the most
challenging dilemmas of his life. Haunted by echoes of the past, the message is
an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm. Fulfilling the unusual
request, Ray is visited by the ghosts of ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta,
Goodfellas) and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game
for throwing the 1919 World Series. As the voices continue to stir
Ray's imagination, he seeks out reclusive author Terence Mann (Academy Award®
nominee James Earl Jones) to help him understand the meaning his quest and
discover the purpose for his remarkable field.

Stewart might have starred in – a movie about dreams.” Chicago
Sun Times
“A work so smartly written, so beautifully filmed, so perfectly acted,
that it does the almost impossible trick of turning sentimentality into true
emotion.” The New York Times
“The life-equals-baseball masterpiece still packs an unexpected
kick.” Denver Post
“Field of Dreams sustains a dreamy mood in which the idea of baseball
is distilled to its purest essence: a game that stands for unsullied innocence
in a cruel, imperfect world.” Variety
