Article
Far and Away is a 1992 American epic Western romantic adventure drama film directed by Ron Howard from a screenplay by Bob Dolman and a story by Howard and Dolman. It stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. This was the last cinematography credit for Mikael Salomon before he moved on to a directing career. The music score was by John Williams. It was screened out of competition at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.
Cruise and Kidman, who were married at the time, play Joseph Donnelly and Shannon Christie, Irish immigrants seeking their fortune in the 1890s America, eventually taking part in the Land Run of 1893. This was Cyril Cusack's final film before his death the following year.
