Watch: Costner at 'Field of Dreams' 25th Reunion - Film's Lesson, 'Conventional Wisdom' Isn't Always Right

ABC NewsDyersville, Iowa — This weekend’s emotional reunion in Iowa showed why “Field of Dreams” still resonates with so many after so many years.

The site of the Oscar-nominated film about an Iowa farmer who hears a voice whisper “If you build it, he will come” and follows through on his vision by building a baseball diamond over a corn field has itself become a tourist destination since the movie’s release in 1989.

So it was only natural for the farm in northeast Iowa to host a three-day celebration of the film that made it so famous.

Stars such as Kevin Costner and Timothy Busfield joined celebrities like Colin Egglesfield, past American League Cy Young award winner Bret Saberhagen and thousands of fans from all over the Midwest at the remote locale.

Costner played the role of Ray Kinsella, the farmer whose diamond lured both the 1919 Chicago “Black Sox” and his own long-gone father out of the cornstalks beyond left field.

Twenty-five years later, Costner brought his wife and kids back to Iowa to reminisce about his role in one of the most beloved sports movies of all time.
