Cuando el director Peter Jackson descubre un escondrijo repleto de antiguas películas de nitrato en el cobertizo de un vecino se da cuenta de que tiene ante sí "la más extraordinaria colección de películas que jamás ha existido. Imagina que Ciudadano Kane apareciera de repente caída del cielo". Así comienza Forgotten Silver, esta pérfidamente divertida y aún así del todo creíble película que pone al descubierto la vida de Colin McKenzie, pionero del cine de la Nueva Zelanda de principios del Siglo XX que inventó las cámaras de cine, la película en color, el sonido sincronizado, el travelín y otras importantes técnicas cinematográficas antes que D.W. Griffith y los hermanos Lumiere. Su epopeya bíblica ‘Salomón’, para la que recreó la antigua Jerusalén en la jungla de Nueva Zelanda, es al fin reconocida como una obra maestra del cine en este "cautivador e hilarante paseo directo al corazón del amor por el cine".
