The Treasure of The Sierra Madre


On the face of it this appears to be a adventure movie about gold diggers, but adventure is just the tip of the  iceberg. 

The movie projects different shades of human personality in some very interesting scenarios. 
Two men, both honest are job less. one of them has no issues in asking for alms to survive but has no issues in making bets on lottery as well, both of them get a job and are conned by the contractor. They beat the hell out of him and take only what was due!!! It was a small amount so the greed does not creep in. 

They find an old man who has some knowledge about gold digging but also says that gold can make men mad!

They make an alliance and get out to dig the gold, what unfolds further is an epic adventure and a fabulous tale which depicts how money leads to insecurity and insecurity to greed and other hidden characteristics of human nature.
Look out for the bandits and their head person :)
