Far and Away

Far and Away (1992) is Ron Howard's sweeping adventure romance you can watch online on iFILM, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Joseph is a penniless Irish tenant whose cottage is burned down by his landlords. Shannon is the landlord's headstrong daughter, suffocating under her family's wealth and rules. Chance throws them together, and the two flee Ireland for late-1800s America with nothing but a dream of owning a patch of land. Joseph trades punches in bare-knuckle prize fights to scrape money together while Shannon plucks chickens; they bicker, drift apart, fall back together. Ahead of them waits the wild Oklahoma land rush, where thousands of settlers tear across the prairie on a single gunshot to stake the first claim.

Howard shot Bob Dolman's script on 70mm film for the scale of the landscapes and that frantic closing race, with a score by John Williams. Stream Far and Away (1992) online on iFILM.
