Mackenna's Gold
A Giant of a movie
Directed by J. Lee Thompson
Produced by Highroad Productions, Columbia Pictures
A sprawling Western adventure centered on a high-stakes treasure hunt, driven by competing factions and frontier action rather than introspection.
A bandit kidnaps a Marshal who has seen a map showing a gold vein on Indian lands, but other groups are looking for it too, while the Apache try to keep the secret location undisturbed.
