The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Directed by John Huston
1948
★ 8.0 editorial score

Huston won two Oscars for it and directed his own father to a third: three men look for gold in Mexico and the heat does the rest.

“"The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" remains one of the most insightful films ever made about greed and the thorny effects of temptation on human nature...Whether it's nomadic bandits killing for goods or supposedly civilized men choosing to murder another (or each other) rather than share a gold claim, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" bears witness to mankind's contemptible willingness—nay, eagerness—to subjugate his brother in the name of short-term material advancement.”
