In 1910, a Chicago steelworker (Richard Gere) accidentally kills his supervisor, forcing him, his girlfriend (Brooke Adams), and his little sister (Linda Manz) to flee to the Texas panhandle. There, they find work harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard). A love triangle, a swarm of locusts, a hellish fire—Malick captures it all with dreamlike authenticity, creating a timeless American idyll that is also a gritty evocation of turn-of-the-century labor.

Critically acclaimed writer-director Terrence Malick presents a magnificent cinematic achievement of sight and sound in one of the most visually stunning films of its time, screened here in a new 4K restoration.

Filmography: A Hidden Life (2019), The Tree of Life (2011), The New World (2005), The Thin Red Line (1998), Days of Heaven (1978), Badlands (1973).
