Eureka is a film directed by Nicolas Roeg, released in 1984, starring Gene Hackman, Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke, and Joe Pesci. The film is about the story of a Klondike prospector, Jack McCann (Hackman) who strikes it rich, only to fear that his daughter Tracy (played by Roeg's then wife, Theresa Russell) and son-in-law (Hauer) are scheming not only for his wealth but his very soul. Greedy investors (Pesci, Rourke) are also swooping down for Hackman's fortune.
The story is loosely based on the real-life murder of Sir Harry Oakes in the Bahamas in 1943 [1].
