Thriller. Drama When two drifters travelling through the desert stumble across the biggest gold nugget ever found, the dream of immense wealth and greed takes hold. They hatch a plan to protect and excavate their bounty with one man leaving to secure the necessary equipment. The other man remains and must endure the harsh desert climate, preying wolves and intruders, whilst battling the creeping doubt that he has been abandoned to his own fate.

	Media	Author	Review
		Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"Anthony Hayes and his famous co-star deliver strong performances but this dystopian vision becomes gratingly thin (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Craig Mathieson Flicks	"An unyielding genre film with a harsh kick to it that doesn’t reach too high. Hayes and Efron can handle this solid drama."
		Susannah Gruder IndieWire	"Zac Efron gives a blistering performance (...) 'Gold' tries to build tension from a sense of emptiness (...) [and] ends up being rather empty itself (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Mark Hanson Slant	"We come to know next to nothing about Efron’s stoic protagonist (...) It doesn’t dig up anything that isn’t already evident on the surface (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Jordan Hoffman AV Club	"Tension does build and there is a satisfying conclusion, but there is an significant stretch where, undeniably, a sizable amount of air comes out of the balloon."
		Sarah Jane Austin Chronicle	"'Gold' is fine. It looks good (...) Both Efron and Hayes do a pretty good job here (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"In case I haven’t made it entirely clear, 'Gold' is no fun whatsoever"
