“What they needed was a country big enough for their dreams.”

Joseph Donnelly (Tom Cruise), a poor tenant farmer in Ireland, wants a piece of land he can call his own. Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the restless daughter of the wealthy family that has been taking land from people like him, joins him in a hurried escape to America. Ron Howard sends them toward the Oklahoma land rush with nothing in their pockets and a single claim to win.
