The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
“The nearer they get to their treasure, the farther they get from the law.”
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.
