Heartland is a 1979 American film, directed by Richard Pearce, starring Rip Torn and Conchata Ferrell. The film is a stark depiction of early homestead life in the American West, and is based on a 1914 published reminiscence by Elinore Pruitt Stewart, titled Letters of a Woman Homesteader.
Though the story is set in southwestern Wyoming, where Stewart homesteaded, the movie was actually filmed in central Montana.
Prominently featured as a "Buried Treasure" (a film which had received little attention during its initial run) on a 1980 episode of Roger Ebert & Gene Siskel's long-running TV show.
