This widely acclaimed masterpiece and must see American epic features the Academy Award winning performance of Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Actor, 2007). Daniel Plainview and son are independent oil men, looking for prospects in California at the turn of the 20th century. They are challenged by a young preacher, Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), whose own ambition is matched by Plainview's. Their battle forms the center of a scary, darkly comic historical journey into an abyss of madness "There Will Be Blood is Paul Thomas Anderson's epic American nightmare, belching fire and brimstone and damanation to hell. It is, above all, a consummate work of art" (Manahola Dargis, The New York Times).

Can one actor's performance turn a good movie into an extraordinary one? Well, in the case of Daniel Day-Lewis, the answer is a resounding "yes". There Will Be Blood might have been a solid, but ultimately forgettable film without Day-Lewis in the lead, but with him the movie is one that movie buffs will still be talking about 20 years from now.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is actually one of his more straight-forward efforts to date (and also his best). Based loosely
