One of the very first films to be filmed on location, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is an American dramatic adventurous neo-western adapted from the 1927 novel by B. Traven. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston (who won Best Actor at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes 1949 for his role).
Two rough-and-tumble wanderers, Dobbs (Bogart) and Curtin (Holt), meet up with a veteran prospector, Howard (Huston), in Mexico and head into the Sierra Madre mountains to find gold. Although they discover treasure, they also find plenty of trouble, not only from ruthless bandits lurking in the dangerous Mexican wilderness but from their own insecurities and greed, which threaten to bring conflict at any moment.
