7) Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
Daniel Plainview is the kind of man who starts with nothing and claws his way to the top, no matter the cost, and his obsession with oil and power defines him, driving him to manipulate, betray, and destroy anyone in his way. He promises towns prosperity while secretly plotting to drain them dry.
Daniel’s charm is a mask, hiding his ruthless need to dominate everyone around him, including his own son, H.W., whom he uses as a prop for his business. His rivalry with Eli Sunday exposes his dark side further, as he crushes anyone who dares to challenge him.
