Getting the oil from the ground is an intensely physical process that later broadens into Plainview’s equally indomitable urge to control land and power. Along the way, Plainview deals with a mighty derrick fire, a visit from a long-lost brother, the ongoing involvement of Plainview’s poker-faced adoptive son, and Plainview’s rivalry with Eli Sunday, the local preacher.
