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.

Gareth v Jul 24 A light-hearted Aussie comedy with heart but lacking in punch or originality. Fun for a casual watch, but forgettable in the long run. See more 02/19/2021 Couldn't even finish it! See more 09/16/2017 Aussie classic, for sure. See more Frances H 09/05/2013 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. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 06/20/2013 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. Bill Bennett did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the humor. See more 10/02/2011 A interesting australian film. Fresh. See more Read all reviews
