迈克尔·法拉第(杰夫·布里吉斯 Jeff Bridges 饰)是一名乔治华盛顿大学的历史系教授,单独抚养着9岁的儿子,他的妻子原是FBI探员,前不久死于一次执勤。最近,迈克尔家街对面搬来了一户新人家,奥利弗(蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins 饰)和雪柔(琼·库萨克 Joan Cusack 饰)以及他们的儿子布雷迪。然而不知是由于正在讲授恐怖组织一课的职业惯性还是第六感作祟,迈克尔总是对这户新邻居心存怀疑,当然,周围没有一个人相信他的荒谬推理。迈克尔开始对奥利弗一家明察暗访,渐渐发现了原来奥利弗一直在用假身份生活,家族史也颇有疑点,但是奥利弗和雪柔的警惕始终让迈克尔的调查寸步难行。直到一天,迈克尔的女友无意在奥利弗的车后发现了一只可疑的包裹,然而就在他们还来不及弄清楚事情原委的时候,谋杀已经笼罩了这座城市……。Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut.
