There Will Be Blood
2007 · TMDB 8.1
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, moves to oil-rich California. Using his son to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainview's motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.
Why it matters
Paul Thomas Anderson's epic of oil and religion in early 20th-century California stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a prospector whose ruthless pursuit of wealth brings him into conflict with a young preacher, Eli Sunday (Paul Dano).
