There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood stars Daniel Day-Lewis as a turn-of-the-century silver prospector who procures the oil rights to a family's ranch and strikes it rich. He turns the small California town of Little Boston into a boomtown, but ultimately comes to blows with a young, charismatic preacher. Day-Lewis won the 2008 Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film, and Robert Elswit won Best Cinematography.
