Eureka plays as part of our Members' Summer Selection season, and was proposed by Ben Webb, who writes: 'It would be great to see Nic Roeg’s masterpiece on a big screen. It features a towering central performance from Gene Hackman, who sadly passed away recently. It’s Roeg’s Citizen Kane but more entertaining and it was lost for many years due to studio politics.'

Twenty years after uncovering an unimaginable bounty of gold in the Klondike, prospector Jack McCann, now settled in the Caribbean, finds both his wealth and soul at stake amongst a sinister web of nefarious influences, spiritual malaise and criminal elements.

A saga of almost cosmic proportions, headlined by an exceptional cast including Gene Hackman, Rutger Hauer, Theresa Russell, Mickey Rourke, Joe Pesci, and Joe Spinell, Eureka is as powerfully acted, formally audacious, thematically layered, and emotionally complex as any of Roeg’s work.
