Fred Dobbs (Humphrey Bogart) and Bob Curtin (Tim Holt) are down-on-their luck Americans looking for work in Mexico. When a lucky lottery win gives them the means, and and old timer Howard (Walter Huston) gives them the knowledge, the men set out to the Sierra Madre to prospect for gold. Surviving the harsh mountains, the bandits, and the dangers of mining will be difficult, but the greater trail will be one of character: can the men remain allies and friends in the face of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?
