The Master è un film del 2012 scritto e diretto da Paul Thomas Anderson. Protagonisti sono Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman e Amy Adams. Il film è stato presentato in concorso alla 69ª Mostra internazionale d'arte cinematografica di Venezia. La trama del film è stata parzialmente ispirata dal personaggio di L. Ron Hubbard, fondatore di Scientology, ma anche da scene inutilizzate della prima stesura de Il petroliere, da storie che l'attore Jason Robards aveva raccontato ad Anderson riguardo ai suoi giorni in marina durante la guerra, e dalla vita di John Steinbeck.
