Movie Info

Two brothers (Richard Gere, Kevin Anderson) have inherited a large farm (once voted "Farm of the Year") from their father, but cannot keep it afloat. When the farm goes bankrupt, the pair decide to torch the place and take off across the Midwest, fleeing the law to become folk heroes for many rural farmers in the area. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Dissipates much of its energy with plot developments reminiscent of "Badlands" and other movies about celebrity lawbreakers.

Audience Reviews for Miles from Home (Farm of the Year)

Strong cast and I enjoyed the visuals that accompanied the melodramatic plot. The chemistry between leading characters worked for me and as the movie flowed I empathized with the farm boys' plight.

This movie is a reflection of what Iowa was really like at that time in the 80's. Growing up here all I remember hearing about is how tough it was for farmers and many were losing their farms at the time. Wonderful movie. Yes, its not a Hollywood blockbuster, but if you understand what it was like growing up here then
