Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field.
As big of a baseball fan that I am I've never seen this movie (or The Natural or Eight Men Out). Both of which I plan on vieiwng this week given the time. I definitely think James Earl Jones was the star of the film, even more so than Kevin Costner. He just commands so much pressence on screen and was humerous in many parts. Ray Liotta was also good in his pre-Goodfellas role. I didn't expect the movie to be as heartwarming as it was.
