Subscribe FreeInspired by The Mayor Of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, The Claim takes us to the beautiful, yet harsh Sierra Nevada mountains of 1869 California. Daniel Dillon (Mullan) struck it rich in the gold rush a few years back and bought up just about every business in a small town. But he knows that if he is to continue his prosperity, he has to get a railroad to connect the new line through his bustling city. But Dillon holds hidden a dark secret about his past, and when the railroad man (Bentley) arrives, so do two women (Kinski and Polley) who have the knowledge to reveal this scandalous secret.
