Product Information

Australian Peter Weir's first Hollywood film tells the story of John Book (Harrison Ford), a Philadelphia cop whose life is altered while trying to help Rachel (Kelly McGillis), an Amish woman, and her son Samuel (Lukas Haas), who witnesses a murder in a Philadelphia train station bathroom. After discovering that the murder was committed by a member of his force, Book travels to Lancaster County with Rachel and Samuel and poses as a member of the Amish community to hide from his murderous police peers. While there, love blooms between Rachel and Book, and he finds himself drawn in by the honesty and simplicity of the old-world Amish lifestyle. Fine performances and beautiful cinematography are prevalent throughout.

One of my all time favorite movies
The cinematography is stunning. The beauty, simplicity, and cohesiveness of Amish life are portrayed flawlessly. I grew up near Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the "flavor" of the area as conveyed in the movie is authentic, although portrayal of the occasional interactions between the "plain" and the "English" is somewhat overdrawn at times. The initial tension of the relationship between the lovers and its ultimate, thoughtful resolution is gentle, romantic, and intensely poignant. Suspenseful plot and evocative music add to the genuine appeal of this older, very well acted, Harrison Ford film.

Superb acting.
Acting was superb. The movie had action, relationships. I wish it had been PG or PG-13.
