An explosion occurs at the oil rig, killing one of Daniel's workers, a single father. Daniel adopts the orphaned baby boy named H.W. (Freasier). When a young evangelical preacher named Paul Sunday (Dano) approaches Daniel about his family's ranch in California that reportedly has an ocean of oil underneath it, Daniel moves his small family to California. Once there, Daniel negotiates the mining rights for Sunday's ranch and hits a huge reserve of petroleum. But drilling for oil is a competitive and dangerous business, and There Will Be Blood on Daniel's hands before he is able to pump the ranch dry. Based on Upton Sinclair's novel Oil! There Will Be Blood won an Academy Award for Best Actor In A Leading Role and Best Cinematography. (Stacey Pendry)
