Story Synopsis

Days Of Heaven is the beautifully filmed, critically acclaimed story about two men who love the same woman. In the early 1900s, three poverty-stricken wanderers—Bill (Richard Gere), a fugitive from the slums of Chicago; his sister Linda (Linda Manz) and his beloved Abby (Brooke Adams)—set out in search of work. They get a job harvesting wheat for an ill, but wealthy Texas farmer (Sam Shepard), who falls in love with Abby and asks her to stay with him after the harvest. In order to offer Bill and Linda a better life, Abby marries the farmer. Although her love remains true to Bill, it is a decision that leads to jealousy and destruction. The movie won an Academy Award® for Best Cinematography.
