The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Tower in Black and White

John Huston’s academy award-winning classic follows two drifters’ (Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt) search for gold in Mexico. With the help from an old prospector, the trio heads out on a mining expedition. The quest for gold gets complicated when increased paranoia and greed overpower the men’s unity. Marked with John Huston’s light and entertaining touch, which won him Oscars for both directing and screenplay, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a superior morality play, which captures the power of gold and the corrosiveness of greed.
