1 Introduction

Many of the top-grossing films in the American cinema have

been based, however loosely, on the hero quest. Such a quest
does not involve simply the hero’s discovery of some boon or
Holy Grail, however; it also involves finding him- or herself,
which ultimately means finding a home in the universe. Home
is often the literal home from which the hero sets out, but more
significantly, it is a state of mind or a way of seeing not possible
before the hero departs. The hero’s journey, in Joseph Camp-
bell’s words, ‘‘is a labor not of attainment but of reattainment,
not discovery but rediscovery. The godly powers sought and
dangerously won are revealed to have been within the heart of
the hero all the time.’’ 1 The hero’s quest, then, is a double quest
that often requires a journey home not only to the place from
whence the hero departed but to a state of being or conscious-
ness that was within the hero’s heart all along. To put it simply,
the hero’s journey outward into the world of action and events
eventually requires a journey inward—if the hero is to grow—
and ultimately necessitates a journey homeward—if the hero
is to understand his or her grail or boon and is to share it with
the culture at large. This book is an attempt to trace the story
of this quest and its various permutations as it has been told
and retold again and again in some of the most popular films
in contemporary American cinema.
Some of the films discussed in this book trace the circu-
lar path taken by protagonists as they journey from home and
back. The most obvious examples are Dorothy in The Wizard
of Oz, E.T. in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Roy Hobbs in The
Natural, Ray Kinsella in Field of Dreams, Scarlett O’Hara in
Gone with the Wind, and Simba in The Lion King. Other films
take their protagonists to a transcendent home, a home often
not of this world, but a home, nevertheless, for which they
have been searching and to which they have been moving all
