$9.99 DVD

A tenant farmer fights to protect his land and community from a developer in this gripping Irish drama featuring Richard Harris's unforgettable performance.

The Field (1990) is a deeply moving and intense Irish drama that explores the fierce bond between a man and the land he calls home. Bull McCabe (Richard Harris) is a tenant farmer in rural Connemara who has worked a particular field for decades, pouring his sweat, heart, and soul into it. Though he does not own the land, Bull sees it as his birthright and the legacy he will leave behind. When the legal owner decides to sell the land to a wealthy American developer, Bull's world is thrown into turmoil.

Determined to protect the field at all costs, Bull rallies the local villagers, drawing on deep-seated pride, tradition, and a fierce sense of community. His struggle becomes a symbolic battle between local heritage and the encroaching forces of modernization and globalization. The film also explores complicated family dynamics, especially Bull's strained relationship with his son, who unwittingly complicates matters further.

Shot on location in the breathtaking landscapes of Connemara near Leenaun, The Field is not only a story about land and survival but also a reflection on power, loss, and the meaning of identity in a changing world. Richard Harris delivers a powerhouse, tour de force performance, embodying Bull's raw intensity, pride, and vulnerability. The supporting cast, including John Hurt and Sean Bean, adds rich texture to this beautifully directed film by Jim Sheridan, which resonates with universal themes of love, betrayal, and the cost of holding on.
