California 1860 and prospector Daniel Dillon (Peter Mullan) has made a fortune in gold and is now running Kingdom Come, a small town built in the heart of the Sierra mountains. He wants to turn the town into a thriving city and to this end he asks Dalglish (Wes Bentley), an engineer plotting the course of the Pacific Railroad Expedition, to survey the surrounding area. But then Dillon's wife (Nastassja Kinski) and twenty-year-old daughter (Sarah Polley), both of whom he had traded for his goldmine years before, arrive in town asking for help. Dillon is overcome with guilt, and leaves his mistress Lucia (Milla Jovovich) in order to seek his wife's forgiveness. Lucia herself then takes up with Dalglish, who tells Dillon that the railroad will not be passing through his town, thereby causing the increasingly-unhinged prospector to reach for his rifle....
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Everything has a price. California in 1860 is a tough place to live, unless you're Daniel Dillon. Having made a fortune in gold, he now successfully owns and runs Kingdom Come, a sprawling prospecting town nestled between the snowscapes. Daniel has designs on turning his town into a city, but to do that he needs the railroad and so invites Dalglish, the chief surveyor of the Central Pacific Railroad expedition, to conduct a survey of the surrounding area. But just when he thinks he's about to put himself on the map, his long lost wife Elena and their daughter Hope appear. Twenty years earlier he had traded them in for the original claim that would later found his town. And as Dillon seeks forgiveness, his world begins to falter...
