Inspired by one of the most improbable true stories ever, this is the entertaining tale of two aging con men at the dawn of the Great Depression and the biggest oil strike in the history of the world.
Irving Tanner, Jr. (Lou Gossett, Jr.) recounts the 1930 legend. Times are hard when the unluckiest wildcatter in the world, Dad Everett (John Ratzenberger), teams up with Doc Boyd (Kevin Sorbo), a charming snake oil salesman. Together they convince several new widows (Sam Sorbo, Paula Boudreau, and others) to invest in their worthless oil wells.
Then, the unthinkable happens! Now our two Casanovas faced with a challenge: declare another dry hole for a clean escape, or bring the well in like genuine oil men and likely spend the rest of their lives in jail?
Meanwhile, some of their investors are angry and fixing to do something about it. And one of them is truly a "mountain" of a man (Tyler Mane).
What happens next? Doc preaches, the Good Lord teaches, and a judge reaches a surprising conclusion. The mostly true story will make you laugh, shed a tear, and give you pride in the God-blessed American way.
I really enjoy Movies based on True Stories, they truly tell a WONDERFUL Story. We are a Homeschooling Family and we are always on the lookout for Educational Movies. My son is now a Senior and this movie is a PERFECT Lesson for him. I really enjoyed the movie and how accurate it is to History. Oil Drilling, 2 Con Men and the Great Depression truly make an interesting movie. The movie is also Faith Based and has Scripture spoken throughout the movie. The deep message of the movie is about Forgiveness and Redemption and how 2 Con Men had their lives changed in MAJOR ways. I LOVE that the Sarbo Family all participates in the movie in some way or another. I Laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the movie fully! I HIGHLY recommend going to see this in Theaters! HURRY though as it is only in Theaters October 29th and 30th! GREAT MOVIE!
