Far and Away (1992)

What they needed was a country big enough for their dreams.

In director Ron Howard’s period epic, a young free-spirited Irish woman from an affluent Protestant family spontaneously befriends a street-smart commoner gypped by her family’s hostile land takeovers before the two escape together to America for a new life during the 19th century Oklahoma land rush.
