Hazel is terrified of the Indians while Martin is fascinated. Soon American pilot Lewis Moon joins the Indian tribe but is attracted by Leslie's young wife, Andy. Can the interaction of these characters and cultures, and the advancing bulldozers of civilization, avoid disaster?

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 4/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA thought-provoking film about cultural conflict, power, progress, and the dire consequences of messianic thinking.
Hartford Courant - 4/10 by Malcolm JohnsonWell over three hours in length, and at best a masterpiece manque, At Play in the Fields of the Lord obviously will not enjoy a 20-week run. For all of its flaws, however, the passion and devotion of Hector Babenco's film comes through.
User Review - 10/10 by Lisa Si watched it cuz i like tom waits. and tom bereneg was the best the movie was all about him. i saw it again and i was like whoa hes a good actor or elsehe just chose the perfect mvoie!
User Review - 10/10 by Dawn MIntense movie that dares to question the ethics and morals of mission work. The scenery is also beautiful.
User Review - 10/10 by Greg EStunning film that critiques the destructive influence of modern culture on an idyllic and sequestered native tribe as it asserts its agendas of moral education, political administration and outright greed. The cinematography is breathtaking and stands as a rich topos for the film's competing narrative interests - representing at once the virgin innocence of the natives, the perceived moral decadence of uncivilized lands, and the potential wealth of a vast and untapped resource. Interactions between the characters reveal the underlying tensions well and serve to articulate the developing drama which ultimately destroys the fragile and beautiful community which has been the focus of everyone's ambitions. A sad, powerful story that stimulates introspection on the human condition.
User Review - 10/10 by Kathy HI love these kinds of movies. Great stuff

User Review - 10/10 by Nancy / PI LOVE IT...KATHY BATES IS GREAT...SO ARE THE OTHERS..2 NUMEROUS TO MENTION..ALL GREAT !!
User Review - 10/10 by Levi HA must watch for any missionary wanna-be. An awesome case study of cultural anthropology based on a true story. All elements needed for a good discussion are here: cultural shock, spiritual warfare, political interest, etc.
User Review - 10/10 by Marilyn ONot everyone on the mission field loves God or the people they are meant to be serving. A Must see for anyone considering the mission field.
