Field of Dreams was a hit 1989 film based on a 1982 novel about a 1919 baseball scandal. An Iowa farmer played by Kevin Costner repeatedly hears an ethereal voice advising him “If you build it, he will come.” So he constructs a ball diamond in a corn&nbsp;field and, sure enough, long-dead figures from a long-gone baseball team — including Ray Liotta as his dad — come wandering out of the fields for a game of pick-up.
