After witnessing a brutal murder, young Amish boy Samuel (Lukas Haas) and his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis) seek protection from police officer John Book (Harrison Ford).

There, immersed in Amish culture and tradition, Book and Rachel begin a cautious romance.

Saw the movie when it first came out. I thought they did a pretty good job. But where I lived they referred to us as Yankees rather than English.
