Summary
The drilling derricks that rose across California at the turn of the century brought much more to the surface than just black gold buried beneath the earth. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this drama explores how greed and ruthless capitalism corrode the human spirit, all within a quiet and tense atmosphere. Daniel Plainview, along with his adopted son, manipulates landowners while engaging in a relentless power struggle with a young preacher who crosses his path. Money, faith, and loneliness intertwine in this landscape.
