Ključna beseda 1900s

Navdihujoča biografska drama, posneta po neverjetni resnični zgodbi. Na začetku 20. stoletja komaj 11-letna temnopolta Sarah Rector, na ozemlju Indijancev v Oklahomi podeduje kos zemlje. Čeprav vsi okoli nje menijo, da je zemljišče ničvredno, Sarah verjame, da se pod njim skriva bogastvo, kar se izkaže za pravilno. Ko se pojavijo pohlepni naftni baroni, se Sarah obrne na svojo družino, prijatelje in nekatere teksaške iskalce nafte, da ohrani nadzor nad svojo, z nafto bogato zemljo. S tem postane ena prvih temnopoltih milijonark v zgodovini ZDA - pri komaj enajstih letih!

Kronološko niza osebne dogodke iz življenja Daniela Plainviewa. Pred gledalčevimi očmi se odvija Danielova prepričljiva in srhljiva preobrazba iz revnega garaškega iskalca srebra, ki sam skrbi za sina, v samoniklega naftnega mogotca, zaslepljenega od črnega zlata – v tolikšni meri, da v njem nihče, ki mu je blizu, kmalu ne prepozna več niti za trohico človeškega. Med tistimi, ki so hodili z njim ali mu stopili na pot, sta najtežje breme njegove razčlovečenosti nosila njegov gluhonemi sin G. W. ter mladi pridigar Eli Sunday. Slednji predstavlja drugo vrsto obsedenosti in poblaznelosti, ki danes razkraja svet še bolj kot kdajkoli – obsedenost od institucionalizirane vere in resničnega pohlepa, ki ga sprenevedavo prikriva. Ko taka človeka trčita v navzkrižju interesov ter nasprotju ideologij, bo poleg nafte tekla tudi kri.

Vse te izkušnje so navdihnile velikega avtorja za pisanje njegovih največjih literarnih, še posebej epske pripovedi o namišljenem Srednjem svetu in pogumni bratovščini, ki ji grozi nepopisno zlo.
