金矿 (Gold)

《金矿》剧情简介：该片是根据臭名昭著的1993年Bre-X金矿公司诈骗案创作的。 Bre-X金矿公司是一家在地下室里建立的加拿大金矿公司，1989年7月在亚伯达省证券交易所上市，当时只是每股约25分的垃圾股。后来该公司买下了印尼矿山的开采权，通过往岩石中掺金粉的做法，他们营造了该矿山的矿石含金量极高的假象，该公司股票的价钱于是如脱缰野马，至1996年4月，他们的股价已飞飙至200元。1996年10月，Bre-X金矿公司诈骗的行径遭到曝光，但成千上万的股民的资产早已落入了该公司创始人、地质师等人的腰包里。 《金矿》的故事讲述了马修·麦康纳饰演的现代勘探家肯尼·威尔斯渴望开探到一块大矿。在这个梦想指引下，威尔斯协同一个同样运气欠佳的地质学家进行了一次孤注一掷的探险——去往印度尼西亚一片未知的雨林深处寻找金矿。布莱丝·达拉斯·霍华德将饰演麦康纳角色的女朋友凯，凯始终支持男友的勘探事业，但是两人的关系在这次寻找金矿的过程中受到了严峻的考验。

With the sudden death of his father, fourth-generation prospector Kenny Wells sees the family business, Washoe Mining, rapidly decline and him out of business. But ambitious Kenny has a dream, a vivid vision that promises mountains of brilliant and pure gold in the lush jungles of remote Indonesia; an aspiration which the well-known, yet still unlucky geologist Michael Acosta shares. Before long, down-on-his-luck Kenny will convince the eager geologist to become his partner and set off on an adventure deep into uncharted territory, while in the meantime, he would hunt for investors. Unfortunately though, as the risky expedition begins without a single speck of gold or the promise of it on the horizon, disease and failure will begin to threaten the short-lived dream. However, is it indeed an intriguingly bold and reckless fantasy? —Nick Riganas
