Three friends -- the unlucky Lotto (Eric Bana), the naive Wookie (Stephen Curry) and the lazy Sue (Dave O'Neil) -- are road workers by day and gold diggers on weekends. On one trip out in the hills, the three misfits strike it rich when they stumble across a huge nugget of gold worth millions of dollars. After the three friends argue over how to split their findings, they encounter even bigger problems: Other gold prospectors know what they found, and they're trying to steal it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Frances H Very funny and entertaining movie with the valuable lesson that money doesn't bring happiness, especially between friends. A humorous take on The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/13 Full Review ashley h The Nugget is an excellent film. It is about how instant wealth suddenly changes the lives of three working class men. Eric Bana and Stephen Curry give amazing performances. The script is enjoyable but a little slow in places.
