Gold (2022) (original) (raw)
In a dystopian near future with social and environmental breakdown, two unnamed individuals discover an enormous nugget of gold in an inhospitable desert. They try to extract it using basic tools and their truck, but fail. One agreed to leave to find excavation equipment, while the other (Efron) stays to guard the claim. The main plot turns around Efron's long wait for his partner, in communication briefly by radio, and his struggle to survive with diminishing supplies and while enduring storms, lack of food and water, and an encounter with Susie Porter's character, 'The Stranger'.
