Among the Dead Sea Scrolls found near Qumran, one stands apart: a scroll hammered from copper rather than written on parchment, listing dozens of locations where an immense fortune in gold and silver is supposedly buried, treasure many scholars link to the Second Temple of Jerusalem. This film follows John Allegro, the British scholar who staked his reputation on the Copper Scroll's authenticity and pushed to have it deciphered and acted on when colleagues dismissed it as fantasy or forgery. Archival photographs, expert interviews, and footage from the Judean desert trace how the scroll was cut open, translated, and then chased into the ground by search expeditions that came back empty-handed. The film weighs the case for a real hidden hoard against the case for an elaborate scribal exercise or coded religious text, using the same manuscript evidence that has divided specialists for decades. It stays with Allegro's own gamble, a career built on a text that may point to nothing, and closes without pretending the argument is settled.
