A real-life Treasure of the Sierra Madre about ambitious people who uncover oil in one of the poorest places on earth. An international suspense story with extraordinary access.
Executive produced by Brad Pitt, Big Men follows what happens when a Texas oil firm makes an enormous discovery off West Africa’s coast. Gaining unprecedented access to reveal big business in oil, it took six years to make and takes viewers around the world, from inside Wall Street boardrooms to the jungle camp of a Nigerian militant group.
Director Rachel Boynton has an incredible ability to go behind closed doors; her access is critical when Kosmos Energy makes its enormous discovery. Christened the Jubilee Field, this massive undersea deposit had the potential to return a staggering $2.2 billion to investors.
Big Men is a story told from the inside, as it happens, not reconstructed once the dust settles.
