Gold

Gold (2016) is Stephen Gaghan's adventure drama you can watch online on iFILM. It follows Kenny Wells, a broke Nevada deal-maker ready to bet everything on one reckless gamble in a faraway jungle.

Wells — played by a balding, paunchy Matthew McConaughey who transformed himself for the part — talks his way into a partnership with Michael Acosta, a down-on-his-luck geologist played by Edgar Ramirez. Together they push deep into the Indonesian rainforest chasing a gold seam almost nobody believes is real. Then the ore turns up, and suddenly Wall Street bankers and predators circle the man who had nothing. Bryce Dallas Howard plays his girlfriend Kay, the one person who watches the dreamer slowly lose himself.

The script draws on the real Bre-X mining scandal of the late 1990s, though names and places are reworked into fiction. Gaghan, who won an Oscar for writing Traffic, films greed like a fever dream where you never quite know who is conning whom. Stream Gold (2016) online on iFILM.
