There Will Be Blood: A Tale of Ambition, Greed, and Betrayal
In the late 19th century, a man named Daniel Plainview begins his relentless pursuit of wealth and power in the unforgiving landscape of the American West.
The Spark of Greed
In 1898, Plainview, a silver prospector, stumbles upon a silver vein in New Mexico. In true rugged fashion, he uses dynamite to create a larger opening, resulting in disaster as he falls and breaks his leg. Undeterred, he hauls himself from the mine, clutching his hard-earned silver, dragging his injured body through the dirt to sell it in town. This moment sets the tone for a man unwilling to accept defeat.
