The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
The nearer they get to their treasure, the farther they get from the law.
Directed by John Huston
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A morally searching Western about how the pursuit of wealth corrodes friendship and character, set against the beautiful but unforgiving Mexican landscape.
Two jobless Americans convince a prospector to travel to the mountains of Mexico with them in search of gold. But the hostile wilderness, local bandits, and greed all get in the way of their journey.
