From BBC Studios and based on a New York Times bestseller, “Cursed Gold: A Shipwreck Scandal” tells the true story of maverick scientist Tommy Thompson and his resourceful team who stunned the world in 1989 by recovering three tons of gold from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean from the famous 1857 shipwreck, SS Central America.
