Synopsis:	Crude is an elegant and gripping saga of oil. Where does it come from? When will it run out? Where is it driving us? This extraordinary documentary sweeps through the ages; from the birth of oil deep in the dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life. Now, as we crest the peak of production, Crude reveals a disturbing irony. The latest scientific evidence suggests that our headlong rush to exploit the remaining resource will lead us down a dangerous road to the future -- a road the planet has traveled before.
