Like the 1949 Columbia Pictures release of “Lust for Gold,” this present-day true story is about obsession, greed, and the hunt for gold.
Boyhood dreams of treasure lead to a lifelong search when a retired missile scientist makes a monumental discovery and tempts fate for fortune as he hatches a secret plan to prove his claim. With his estranged son at his side, he secures an entertainment/personal injury lawyer who assembles a team — a retired blackjack dealer, a veterinary assistant, and a dog.
