Western/Adventure ‧ 2h 6m ‧ 1948

The September 18 free Classic Movie Night at the Odeon Theater features the 1948 classic adventure film, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston. The movie follows two rough-and-tumble wanderers, Dobbs (Bogart) and Curtin (Holt), who meet up with a veteran prospector, Howard (Huston), in Mexico and head into the Sierra Madre mountains in search of 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..

Considered one of the greatest films of all time, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre won three Academy Awards, including Best Director for John Huston and Best Supporting Actor for Walter Huston — the first time a father and son won Oscars for the same film — the BAFTA Award for Best Film and the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. The film is included on the American Film Institute’s “The 100 Greatest American Films of All Time” list and was selected in 1990 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
