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.

Reviews
- "Gold is a lean parable of greed's blinding nature. Zac Efron gives a quiet and strikingly physical lead performance. Gold doesn't offer many surprises. But the protagonist's descent into savagery and terror is fascinating to see."
- MovieWeb - "Hayes has a strong instinct for economy and what drives a movie. His direction is confident, his instincts for tension and decompression good."
