In 2010, art dealer Forrest Fenn buried a cache worth millions somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Publishing a cryptic poem with clues to its location, the eccentric millionaire offered the Fenn Treasure up for grabs to anyone who could find it – and tens of thousands have heeded his call. Executive produced by Errol Morris, and with an original score by Calexico & Bonnie Prince Billy, The Lure tells the story of this legendary buried treasure, as revealed through a number of treasure hunters, each driven by something more than simple wealth.

Premiered at DOCNYC in 2016. Went on to play Glasgow Film Festival, Big Sky FF, Open City, Atlanta FF, San Francisco, Midbo, Charlotte Film Festival, Vasteras FF, Destiny City and more... before theatrical release in September 2017 in the UK.
