"In 1930s Ireland, Bull McCabe has farmed for most of his life a field belonging to a wealthy widow, who one day decides to sell the plot. Bull is outraged since he has transformed the field from a rocky lot to a lush swath and believes the field is his in accordance with tribal codes that predate modern law. Feared and respected throughout the countryside, Bull announces his intention to claim the field in a public auction, but the widow declares never to sell to him. An Irish-American from Boston returns to his ancestral village with a plan to pave Bull's field for a road to lucrative limestone deposits. Bull rails against him and when the American refuses to give way, Bull enlists his son, Tadgh, in a plan to drive him off. This has fatal consequences and destroys everything Bull holds dear."
""Das Feld", das ist das grüne Stück Land im sonst so kargen Irland des Jahres 1939, das Bull McCabe gepachtet hat. Es ist sein ganzer Stolz und Lebensinhalt. Als die Eigentümerin das Feld versteigern will, nimmt das Unglück seinen Lauf."
"Irish director Jim Sheridan made The Field after scoring an art house hit and Oscar nominations for his previous film, My Left Foot. Set in Ireland during the 1930s, this ambitious and hard-hitting drama is about one man's obsession with a plot of land that his family has tended for generations."
""Richard Harris made a triumphant return to the screen and received a 1991 Oscar nomination (Best Actor) for his outstanding performance in this powerful film. A plot of earth in rural Ireland, THE FIELD is rented and lovingly cultivated by "Bull" McCabe (Harris). When its legal owner suddenly decides to sell the land, a wealthy American (Tom Berenger) appears with plans to develop the area. To Bull, covering land with concrete is a mortal sin. To the villagers, an outsider owning Bull's field is an outrage that McCabe vows to prevent at any cost. Co-starring John Hurt, THE FIELD is a compelling story of one man's determined battle to resist change and defend his heritage."--Container."@en
