There Will Be Blood

Day-Lewis's performance will simply have you like a fever you can't shift. ” The Spectator

Widely touted as a masterpiece, this sparse and sprawling epic about the underhanded “heroes” of capitalism boasts incredible performances by leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, and is director Paul Thomas Anderson’s best work to date. With an incredible original orchestral score by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is a classic that will leave you in awe. I drink your milkshake!

Silver miner Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) leads a hardscrabble life with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier). When he hears about oil oozing from the ground near the Western town of Little Boston, Daniel takes his son on a mission to find their fortune. Daniel makes his lucky strike and becomes a self-made tycoon but, as his fortune grows, he deviates into moral bankruptcy.
