On April 21, 1989, the iconic film "Field of Dreams" was released in theaters across the United States. Directed by Phil Alden Robinson and starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta, the movie tells the story of an Iowa farmer named Ray Kinsella who hears a mysterious voice telling him to build a baseball field in his cornfield.

Despite facing financial struggles and skepticism from his family and community, Ray follows the voice's instructions and builds the field. Soon, the ghosts of famous baseball players, including the legendary "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, emerge from the cornfield to play on the field.

As the story unfolds, Ray embarks on a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation, ultimately leading him to repair his strained relationship with his late father. The film explores themes of faith, redemption, and the power of dreams.

"Field of Dreams" was adapted from W. P. Kinsella's 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe" and features the iconic line, "If you build it, he will come." The movie was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $84 million worldwide and receiving three Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score.

The film's legacy endures to this day, with its most famous scene featuring Kevin Costner playing catch with his father (played by Dwier Brown) on the baseball field. The movie's message of hope, perseverance, and the importance of following one's dreams continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. In 2017, "Field of Dreams" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
