Mackenna's Gold is a colorful, action-packed
western feature with an all-star cast. Mackenna (Gregory Peck) has
committed to memory the map that leads to some hidden Apache gold.
The Indians now want the gold to finance their fight against the
white men who invade their territory. Mexican bandit Colorado (Omar
Sharif) wants the gold for himself, and the local preacher (Raymond
Massey) and the editor of the newspaper (Lee J. Cobb) also get gold
fever. Burgess Meredith plays the storekeeper and Edward G. Robinson
is long-time town resident Old Adams. Everyone goes looking for
the hidden treasure as the Indians dwindle their numbers with violent
attacks. The search is monitored by U.S. calvary Sergeant Tibbs
(Telly Savalas). Colorado captures Mackenna to lead him to the gold
as death comes to those who show the most avarice. Music is provided
by Quincy Jones.
