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.
