Richard Harris was nominated for several awards (including the Oscar and Golden Globe) for his performance in The Field. The time is the mid-1930s; the place, western Ireland. For many years rugged individualist Bull McCabe (Harris) has been cultivating a small plot of rented land, nurturing it from barren rock into a fertile field. Now, however, the widow who owns the land plans to sell it at auction. The infuriated Bull shows up at the bidding, secure in his belief that none of his neighbors will dare bid against him. But Bull has not taken into consideration a wealthy Irish-American (Tom Berenger), who intends to pave over the land and bring new industry to the area. "This is deep, very deep, deeper than you think" warns Bull, as he sends his grown son (Sean Bean) to "persuade" the American to withdraw his bid. Armed with the foreknowledge that Bull's tenacity has caused heartbreak and tragedy in the past, the audience steels itself for the awful consequences still to come. Punctuating the storyline are the periodic appearances of the toothless village idiot, played by John Hurt. Originally produced for British television, The Field was based on the landmark play by John B. Keane, and directed by My Left Foot's Jim Sheridan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

本片改编自当代爱尔兰最杰出的幽默小说家罗迪·道伊尔“社会三部曲”（The Barrytown Trilogy）中的第二部，讲述了一个多子女的保守爱尔兰中下阶层家庭由于大女儿未婚先孕而引起的种种矛盾和困扰。"Snapper"指的便是女儿肚子里的惹麻烦的胎儿。
本片拥有清晰明快的节奏和出色的表演，扮演从保守到开放的父亲的爱尔兰著名演员科尔姆·米尼借此得到了金球奖提名。科雷一家尽管并不富有，成员也没有任何过人之处，但他们在备受外人非议的过程中展现出了令人羡慕的相互理解和支持，也让影片对未婚先孕这件事的处理上一定程度有点不切实际的理想化。
