Hard Oil!

1980 · 29 min Documentary

The story of the early Canadian oil industry from its start in Petrolia and Oil Springs, Ontario, from about 1850 to 1900. Dramatic re-creations blend with archival photographs and diaries to tell the rags-to-riches-to-rags tale of a boom that went bust.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Hard Oil! is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1980. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
