They needed a country that was big enough for both of their dreams.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star in this critically-acclaimed romantic adventure from director Ron Howard. This breathtaking epic opens on the west coast of Ireland, 1892. Joseph Donnely (Cruise), a poor tenant farmer, is determined to bring justice to an oppressive landlord. Instead, he finds himself accompanying the landlord's daughter, Shannon (Kidman), to America in a quest for land.
Arriving in Boston, Joseph finds a place for them to live while proving an natural at bare-fisted boxing. But his triumph is short-lived as he and Shannon are thrown out into the bitter cold. Their bickering eventually reveals their true feelings for each other, just as they are separated by a grim turn of events.
