The Milagro Beanfield War (Blu-ray)

The poor residents of a small New Mexico town had lost hope when developers diverted the local water access. One frustrated farmer (Chick Vennera), though, stumbled on a means of irrigating his crops... and found himself becoming a local hero and improbably invincible nemesis to the powers that be.
