CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Joseph (Tom Cruise) and Shannon (Nicole Kidman) achieve their dream of participating in the Oklahoma Land Rush for a piece of land of their own.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this epic Ron Howard film, Joseph Donelly (Tom Cruise) is an impoverished 19th-century Irish tenant farmer who has recently lost both his father and his home to the agents of his unscrupulous landlord. On a mission to avenge his family's injustice at the hands of the ruthless land baron Joseph meets the landlord's daughter and the two run off to America together where the girl expects to claim a piece of land for herself in the Oklahoma Land Rush. After she is robbed on the boat that carries them to America, they arrive with nary a penny and struggle just to keep their heads above water in the slums of Boston. After a series of serious set-backs they do eventually work their way out West, where Joseph must fight to realize his dream and claim a piece of the American Dream for himself -- and where they finally acknowledge their love for each other. Shot in wide-screen Panavision, the movie was filmed on-location in Ireland and Montana.

2:25 just seeing how his horse just rockets forward and the swell of triumphant music always gives me chills.

[VidConAnaheim]

I just love the beginning of this clip... the horses flinching when the cannon is fired. Perfect cinematography.

[donbishop]

Can you imagine how much fun it must have been to be part of this scene, or just to be present when they filmed it?! Just think what the real thing must have been like!
...then add a John Williams score - perfection.

[jonmatwe]

Love that part where the music swells and shows Tom Cruise on his young buck overtaking others, like he is finally getting ahead in life when he has had so many setbacks and hardships. It practically encapsulates the American spirit in just a few seconds.

[heatherninneman]

My favorite part in the scene is when we have the long tracking shot of him on the horse surpassing everyone and you know it's going to happen for him and it's his destiny. That's one of the few things I'm proud of in the history of our country that they actually gave the citizens free land. Still can't believe it till this day

[AyCaramba]

I was smiling the whole way. The big tire bicycle wreck was amazing. LMAO

[littleainsa]

That scene where he’s just riding like the wind, zipping past everyone else on the way to his destiny. It’s so exhilarating to watch! My favorite Tom Cruise scene ever.

[mastercontrolprogram]

Tom Cruise probably could of gone faster running on foot. He’s always running very fast in his movies. 😂

[landulim]

"A man without a land is a man without a chance". What an inspirative movie, Isn' it?

[rossdiamondthief]

The fact that there’s no CGI and real 800+ extras and horses just makes this scene all the more fantastic.

[Nostalgio]

The music score is AMAZING first heard it in the Disney movie Treasure Planet trailer.

[seanmcg]

1:16 Probably the most surreal and surprisingly even most hilarious I've ever seen in my life. XD

[_AirWolf_]

“I don’t wish, to fight you.” *Punches horse in the face*

[alexagaba]

90s were awesome, plus these two had such great chemistry in this flick...

[loganp.]

One of my favorite few seconds in film history is when that horse starts kicking it! Man wouldn't we all like to be Joseph in that moment!

[jaf]

¡¡Pump up the volume!! John Williams's music!!!

[bluetickfreddy]

Love this movie in so many Irish ways
Hits home big time

[magnusdiridian]

0:43 the american indians be like:

WHY IS THIS HAPPY MUSIC PLAYING WHILE THEY TAKE OUR LAND

[archangelrevelations]

It must have taken forever to film this scene, but it came out pretty amazing. #TomCruise

[xj]

2:05 That dude riding that bicycle...lol
