The story takes place in 1898. Daniel Plainview turned out to be a miner in a silver mine. He was destitute and hopeless, and he broke his leg in an accident. Daniel, who decided to give it a go, accidentally learned a secret message that there is a small town in the western United States where oil is constantly seeping from the ground. Daniel turned into a seller and took his son H·Wto the small town almost covered in dust and loess. It might be the last time for him to catch this. Chance. Fortunately, Daniel and H·W looked at the right time. Their luck and wealth accumulated exponentially at an incredible speed, and their social status also rose rapidly. However, with more and more achievements, Daniel's soul began to be missing, and he became an all-purpose business liar. It took 29 years for Daniel to finally fulfill his grand aspiration to become a rich man and become a generation of oil tycoon, but he also began to lose some of the most basic qualities of human nature, such as love, hope, community, faith and ambition. It even jeopardized the father-son relationship between him and H·W, and the chief culprit of all this was the rolling oil that represented depravity and deceit. When evil emerges, a charismatic missionary Yili Sandyplayed, who symbolizes purity and faith, also steps into this decadent land, so a holiness takes place in wealth, industry, and religion. The clash between loyalty and loyalty unfolded. If wealthy entrepreneurs are the kind of liars who are good at juggling tricks, then missionaries are more like some kind of conspirators. When contradictions are intensified, even the most unclear delineation in morals can make people feel Very convincing.

Plainview: Mr. Bankside, I'm not going to waste your time; I'd certainly appreciate it if you didn't waste mine. Now, if you wish to sign with me, we can have a well drilling within ten days, but your lot is further north from the discovery well up here, and so... Well, that means we'll probably have to dig deeper. And if there's as much oil here as I think there is, it'll be harder to reach, but once we find it, we can take it right out. You have to act quickly, because very soon these fields will be dry. Now... I need you to know what you want to do. Now, because of the distance from the discovery well, I'll pay you a smaller royalty than you'd get down there, but I'm prepared to give you a thousand dollar bonus on your lot.
Mr. Bankside: What kind of royalty are you talking about?
Plainview: 1/6th, plus a guarantee to start drilling within ten days. Now, that's something you won't find anywhere else.
[long silence]
Plainview: What age your children, ma'am?
Mrs. Bankside: 10 and 12. Mr. Plainview, a question, sir. Where is your wife?
Plainview: She died in childbirth, Mrs. Bankside, so I... so... Well, it's just me and my son now.

Paul Sunday: Mr. Plainview?
Plainview: Yes?
Paul Sunday: Are you Daniel Plainview?
Plainview: Yes. What can I do for you?
Paul Sunday: You look for oil.
Plainview: That's right.
Paul Sunday: What do you pay for a place that has it?
Plainview: Well, that depends.
Paul Sunday: What does it depend on?
Plainview: On a lot of things.
Paul Sunday: If I told you I knew a place that had oil, where land could be bought cheaply, what do you think that would be worth?
Plainview: Oh, I think that, uh... you should let me know what you know, and, uh, and then we'll try and work something out.
Paul Sunday: Can I sit down?
Plainview: Please.
Paul Sunday: [Paul sits] What church do you belong to?
Plainview: I, um... I enjoy all faiths. I don't belong to one church in particular. I... I like them all. I like everything. Where are you from?
Paul Sunday: That would be telling you. That's what I want to sell you.
Plainview: What are you doing in Signal Hill?
Paul Sunday: We have oil and it seeps through the ground. Do you want to pay me to know where it is...
Plainview: Well, just because there's something on the ground doesn't mean there's anything beneath it.
Paul Sunday: Why did Standard Oil buy up land?
Plainview: Is it in California?
Paul Sunday: Maybe.
Plainview: How much land they buy?
Paul Sunday: I'd like it better if you didn't think I was stupid.
