视频简介
影片的前身是同名电视影集，说的是英国情报局的首席探员约翰·斯蒂德受政府委托，调查一系列的反常现象：暴风雪、冰雹、龙卷风在欧洲一些国家长期肆虐，完全违背自然气侯的规律。最后，斯蒂德发现，原来这一切都是人为操纵的结果，罪魁祸首就是前政府部长奥古斯特·德怀特。他妄图以控制天气变化达到控制英国甚至全世界的目的。斯蒂德凭着他的聪明才智，再加上气象学家埃玛·皮尔的默契配合，最终克敌制胜。。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. Winner of the 1980 Berlin Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival。
