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.[4]

Cruise and Kidman, who were married at the time, play Irish immigrants seeking their fortune in the 1890s America, eventually taking part in the Land Run of 1893.[5][6]

This was Cyril Cusack's final film before his death the following year.
