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.

An overview of the making of John Huston's 1948 classic "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre."

Three bank robbers escape into the western wilderness, where they hear of a fortune in gold supposedly hidden in Treasure Mountain. Is the treasure real, and will it be discovered before greed destroys them all?

The story very freely echoes the vicissitudes of an expedition that really took place in the 19th century in the harsh and wild lands of the West.

At the end of the Civil War, a major shipment of gold has been stolen and buried in the desert. Only one man knows the whereabouts of gold and the army sends captain Matt Martin to arrest him and come back with the gold. Martin, his prisoner and a handful of men enter Indian territory in search of the precious cargo. The Apaches, outlaws and storms will make it not too easy.

Gold mining cowboy western romantic melodrama (based on the story by Zane Grey) about a pair of cowboys who find a gold mine in "Thunder Mountain", but have no money to develop it. One of the cowboys rescues a girl on a stagecoach and her grateful father agrees to finance them. Along the way, she pretends to fall in love with one of the cowboys. Thinking he is about to be very rich, he sets out, but upon arrival, he finds that a bad man has stolen the claim and started a town. There, everyone turns on him, including the girl, but luckily, another pretty girl, a barmaid (who is secretly in love with him), sticks by him, and he ends up in a climactic shootout on the mountain where the gold is stashed.

A wagon train crossing the plains comes across the remains of other wagon trains that have been attacked by looters. Soon they too are attacked.

A salted gold mine proves to be troublesome for a ghost town.
