| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Spirited, fanciful tale of a rugged individualist (dirt-poor, hard-luck Vennera) who decides to stand up to the big, brash developers who plan to milk his (and his neighbors') New Mexico land for all it's worth. Distilled from John Nichols' sprawling novel by Nichols and David Ward, this film takes a whimsical tone that's positively infectious... aided by a top ensemble cast, beautiful scenery, and Dave Grusin's lyrical, Oscar-winning score.
