What is There Will Be Blood about? Toggle content

In the early 1900s, a ruthless oilman named Daniel Plainview embarks on a relentless pursuit of wealth and power in California. As he strikes gold—or rather, black gold—his ambition spirals out of control, leading to conflicts with local landowners and a charismatic preacher who challenges his methods.

The film showcases how ambition can consume an individual, revealing the dark side of human nature amidst the backdrop of America’s oil boom. Richly layered with themes of family, faith, and moral decay, it paints a compelling portrait of an empire built on exploitation and deception. Ultimately, it raises poignant questions about what one is willing to sacrifice for success.
