If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true.

"If you build it, he will come." With these words, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella is inspired by a voice he can't ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe.
Supported by his wife Annie, Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true. Along the way he meets reclusive activist Terence Mann, the mysterious "Doc" Graham and even the legendary "Shoeless Joe" Jackson....
