There Will Be Blood is a historical drama directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, based on the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair. The story follows Daniel Plainview, a ruthless oil prospector whose thirst for wealth and power isolates him from everyone around him. Set against the backdrop of America’s oil boom at the turn of the 20th century, the film is a gripping exploration of obsession, betrayal, and the dark side of the American dream.

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his towering performance as Daniel Plainview, which many critics consider one of the greatest in cinema history. The film’s haunting score, composed by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, added a chilling, otherworldly feel and was composed before much of the movie was even filmed. Paul Thomas Anderson drew visual inspiration from the early silent film Greed by Erich von Stroheim. Many of the desert and oil field scenes were shot in Marfa, Texas, the same town where No Country for Old Men was filmed at nearly the same time. The intense, improvised final confrontation between Plainview and Eli Sunday remains one of the film’s most unforgettable and quoted moments.
