From the scorched deserts of California to the inner depths of one man’s ambition comes There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson’s monumental American saga—one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a titanic, Oscar-winning performance as Daniel Plainview, a silver miner turned oilman whose thirst for power burns brighter than the derricks he erects across the West. As towns rise and morals fall, Plainview wages war—against the land, against the Church, and eventually, against his own humanity. Across from him: Paul Dano, pulling double duty as twin brothers and spiritual adversaries, locked in a violent dance of faith and greed.
Shot by Robert Elswit in apocalyptic beauty and scored with nerve-jangling dread by Jonny Greenwood, There Will Be Blood is a film that doesn’t just depict America’s creation myth—it bleeds it.
