A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, movie is set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon.
When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value - love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son - is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.
Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Ciar?n Hinds, Kevin J. O'Connor, Dillon Freasier.

Welcome to Hollywood, the place where dreamers come to dream and where the number of stars for a square meter is greater than in the night sky. But people living here do not always resemble the movie characters they so eagerly portray on the screen. In the extravagant villas in Beverly Hills you may find people with a guilty conscious and shady past, like a famous psychotherapist and star adviser, or his aging client and pretentious actress, or even a young millionaire who got to the top too fast and is now suffering from the consequences. Here you can find romantics whose dreams did not come true. In some cases the twinkle of hope is still visible in their eyes, while for others it was replaced by the darkness of desperation. Hollywood promises luck and happiness to those who are yet to come, but those who lived here for a while begin to see past the blindfold of dreams and smell the reality. They would say "Welcome to Hollywood, land of passion haunted by ghosts of the past, land of lust and blood".
