Storyline
A young man (Cruise) leaves Ireland with his landlord's daughter (Kidman) after some trouble with her father, and they dream of owning land at the big giveaway in Oklahoma ca. 1893. When they get to the new land, they find jobs and begin saving money. The man becomes a local barehands boxer, and rides in glory until he is beaten, then his employers steal all the couple's money and they must fight off starvation in the winter, and try to keep their dream of owning land alive. Meanwhile, the woman's parents find out where she has gone and have come to America to find her and take her back. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

Trivia
The boxing scenes were filmed in the partially renovated train station in Billings, MT. An abandoned Price Club in Billings served as both a factory to produce rubber chickens used in the movie and a soundstage for the brothel. The brothel was built inside, and fire pumps were used to create rain. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Steven challenges Joseph to a duel, he tosses a glove on Joseph's chest, and it lands on the floor beside him. In the next cut, the glove is on his stomach. See more »Quotes
