Field of Dreams is a movie adopted from the 1982 novel by W. P. Kinsella, Shoeless Joe, that tells the story of Ray Kinsella, a farmer from Iowa who has a troubled relationship with his baseball devoted father. He is now living with his wife Annie and his daughter Karin. He sees visions and hears voices instructing him to make a baseball field in his corn farm. Although the story is somewhat creepy and absurb, with the right chemistry of Phil Alden Robinson's direction and screenplay, and fine acting from its cast, the movie turns out one of the best mix of baseball, fairy-tale short of and family story ever seen on screen. It stars Kevin Costner on the lead role, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta
and Burt Lancaster. The movie also got three nominations in the Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay and also the coveted Best Picture Award.
