Directed by Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth), Eureka stars Gene Hackman as a solitary and obsessive 1920s Klondike prospector, who after decades of destitute scavenging finally becomes enormously rich, only to find himself burdened with problems, including a soul-destroying daughter (Theresa Russell) and a host of schemers that includes Rutger Hauer, Joe Pesci and Mickey Rourke, bent on cheating him of his fortune. A film of dense alchemical qualities.
"A strange, perverse film about passion and greed... Roeg is a fascinating director... his films are a visual feast." — Roger Ebert
