格雷汉姆·海斯（梅尔·吉布森 Mel Gibson 饰）是美国费城某小镇上一个普通的农场主，海底一天早上醒来，海底他和家人意外的发现自己的玉米田里出现了几个一串串紧紧连结在一起的庞大环状神秘图案。这可让格雷汉姆一家吃惊不小，因为玉米田里根本没有任何足迹，看上去像是外星球人的飞船降落的痕迹。很快全世界各地都传出了一夜之间出现神秘图案的消息，人们惊恐万分，惶惶不可终日。全国的媒体、记者和观众也都把焦点以风一般的速度转移到了这个美国南部的小镇，集中到了巴克斯郡的海斯一家。这足有500英尺宽的神秘麦田圈，到底是有人恶意制造的恶作剧，还是乘坐UFO的外星人降临的痕迹，或者是某种灵异事件的结果？只有格雷汉姆发现了一些端倪，决定追查到底......

回复 :一家西班牙农民生活在地主的管制之下，他们生活的宗旨就是委曲求全和听从指令。命运的终结是反常之外的粗暴虐劣，但这个令人心凉的结局却也象征了刑判的破裂。

回复 :A portrait of a man who analyses his life on his 44th birthday. The past and the present, the actual and potential developments blend in a dreamy vision. "The protagonist seems to assume that travelling in time is possible, and things happen in an imaginary, invented time which he fittingly adjusts and changes", said Konwicki in the Film Press News 1/1972. The film is a formally complex analysis of what is commonly referred to as the Polish fate. Awards: 1972 - The Warsaw Mermaid of the Film Critics' Club at the Polish Journalists' Association in the feature film category; Special Jury Award at the Lubuskie Film Summer in Lagow; 1973 - Special Award for Screenplay at the San Remo Film Festival.
