Little House on the Prairie is the dramatic, gripping story of a young pioneer family's struggle to build a new life for themselves on the American Frontier of the 1870's.

       Dirt-poor and alone, the Ingalls family moves from the woods of Wisconsin to the plains of Kansas and faces the dangers of an untamed wilderness as they fight to build and hold onto their new home--only to find themselves driven from their land by government decree.

       With indomitable courage that celebrate the American pioneer and resilience of the human spirit, the Ingalls move on, taking their hopes and dreams bravely to the banks of Plum Creek, near Walnut Grove in Minnesota. There, they face the endless challenge of frontier life--a hard, bitter, sometimes joyful, sometimes tearful existence. "Little House on the Prairie" builds to an emotional crescendo that captures all the high-powered excitement of the Old West.

       Adapted from the "Little House" books by the late Laura Ingalls Wilder, which recount her unforgettable childhood. "Little House on the Prairie" is big, enthralling family entertainment, acclaimed by viewers and critics alike. It is a rich and exciting cinematic look, with warmth, humor and drama, at a proud generation of people and a period of strength and courage.

       "The main values of Little House on the Prairie are little things that nobody seems to care about anymore, the simple needs of people and how difficult it was in those days out West to supply them." ~Michael Landon
