Eureka
Richer than Getty, stranger than Hughes, the bizarre tale of Jack McCann.
Directed by Nicolas Roeg
Produced by Sunley Productions Ltd., JF Productions
A dark, psychologically complex portrait of wealth's corrosive effects on a man and his family, caught between isolation and encroaching criminal menace.
After striking it rich on a large gold strike, a prospector retires to the quiet life on a Caribbean island but ends up coping with an alcoholic wife, a headstrong daughter, and Miami mobsters who want to build a casino.
