Richard Harris made a triumphant return to the screen and received an Oscar nomination for his outstanding performance in this 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 appears with plans to develop the area. To Bull, covering the 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.

Just a field but with Bull it is never Dull

Most Irish families have their own lower budget film adaptation of the field. Richard Harris is master class in this. It can strike too close at times to the rural Irish heart however that is what makes this compelling viewing. Morale of story dont mess with a old guy that gets Headaches.
