Ben 'Finn' Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queens Dowry - 40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715.
In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess (Kate Hudson). Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasures whereabouts. Certain that his luck will change with the newfound information, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigels yacht and convinces the tycoon and his Blackberry-wielding, celebutante daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. Against Tess' better judgment, the search rekindles her love of discovery. But they are not the only ones after the treasure. Finns mentor-turned-nemesis Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) has also set out to claim the prize!

Fool's Gold is not as good as Sahara but, still good fun!

Matthew McConaughey starred in a film called Sahara in the year 2005 and it was very much in the same vain as Romancing the Stone which starred Michael Douglas back in 1984. They were both action adventure films that had some comedy in them whilst hunting for lost treasure. I loved both those films and was really looking forward to Fool's Gold as it's in the spirit as those films only not as good, but I don't care as I love these types of films they are such good fun. The underwater scenes in Fool's Gold are breathtaking on Blu-ray and I for one am pleased that the new releases that I'm buying are having great Blu-ray transfers. If you want a good fun adventure film you could do alot worse then Fool's Gold, it's worth checking out if you like this type of film trust me.
