| Movie Description Ron Howard's epic tale tells the story of two Irish immigrants' quest for land during the 1890s Oklahoma land rush. Tom Cruise stars as Joseph Donnelly, an ambitious young farmer in western Ireland. When a local protest against wealthy landlord Daniel Christie (Robert Prosky) results in the death of his father, Joseph seeks revenge. But his attempt at vengeance is thwarted by Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the landlord's high-spirited and headstrong daughter, who stabs Joseph with a pitchfork. While convalescing at the Christies' manor, Joseph is propositioned by Shannon, who asks him to travel with her to America--where she is determined to acquire some of the free land being given away in the Oklahoma Territory. Arriving in Boston, Joseph acts as protective brother to Shannon in the foreign city streets as they struggle to earn the money to travel out west.
Notes "Far and Away," was shot with 65m stock with Panavision's new super 70 equipment and was released as a 70mm film. It is the first film in almost thirty years to be made this way. Apparently the new super 70 equipment achieves a normal panavision aspect ratio, one not as wide as the Super Panavision 70 process of thirty years ago. The last film shot on 70mm stock was "Ryan's Daughter," also set in Ireland. This film stock was rendered obsolete for many years, partially because it is very expensive.
