Movie Info

In the not too distant future, two drifters (Zac Efron, Anthony Hayes) traveling through the desert stumble across the biggest gold nugget ever found, and the dream of immense wealth and greed takes hold. They hatch a plan to excavate their bounty with one man leaving to secure the necessary tools. The other man remains and must endure harsh desert elements, ravenous wild dogs, and mysterious intruders, while battling the sinking suspicion that he has been abandoned to his own fate.

Efron understands he doesn't need to say and do too much here; he can internalise emotion and let the atmosphere and intensity of the film wash over him.

It is a bleak, uncompromising watch, yet one that provides a well-known actor the chance to strip his movie star sheen and deliver an uncompromising work.

If only Gold was a better film. Or even a good one...As simple as the premise is, it's weak as heck...Half-way through things get so inert you wish the distant dust trail of an approaching vehicle would turn out to be the bus from Priscilla. No such luck.

A grim, post apocalyptic survival tale capitalising on the Australian desert locations that work so well, though it doesn't overcome a sense of deja vu
