Plot

This adaptation of Oil!, a novel by Upton Sinclair, is a period piece taking place in the turn-of-the-century where a tycoon (Daniel Day-Lewis) strikes it rich after gaining oil rights to a family's ranch, turning the small town into a boomtown where a charismatic young preacher (Paul Dano) captivates churchgoers.

The studio describes it as "a story about family, greed, religion and oil, centered on a turn-of-the-century Texas prospector in the early days of the business."
