“Fool's Gold” (2008) overview

[ “Fool's Gold” official poster ]

Ben Finnegan (played by Matthew McConaughey) is a good-natured, surf bum-turned-treasure hunter who obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queens Dowry -- 40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715.

Tess Finnegan (played by Kate Hudson) has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (played by Donald Sutherland), while Ben discovers a vital clue to the treasures whereabouts.

In his quest, Ben has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess and his more-rusty-than-trusty salvage boat, Booty Calls.

Certain that his luck will change with the newfound information, Finnegan convinces the tycoon and his daughter, Gemma (played by Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure.

But they are not the only ones who seek the treasure. Finnegan's mentor-turned-nemesis Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) has also set out to claim the treasure...
