[QUOTE="ragboy, post: 2090405, member: 4151"] [b]<insert character name>'s Gold[/b] This movie always struck me as a great adventure that can be ported to any time period or any part of the globe, though it still works well in the American Southwest up to the modern day: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- McKenna's Gold There are a few plot twists, but for the most part the story is predictable. Mackenna (Gregory Peck) has memorized a map, now destroyed, which will lead to a canyon of gold. The gold belongs to the Apaches, and it has been decreed by the Apache Gods that the gold remain untouched. But now the young Apache warriors want the gold to support them in their fight against the white men. The Mexican bandit Colorado (Omar Sharif) wants the gold so he can emigrate to Paris and become a gentleman. Sharif captures Peck and forces him to lead them to the gold. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each character has some different reason for wanting to find the hidden gold, which could be anything from a cache of diamonds, to the original Mona Lisa, to the best brownie recipe. The important thing is that this lust for the treasure is all that drew them together. One character has the map memorized (the map is destroyed) One character has forced previous character to lead him/her to the treasure. One character is in love with one or both or has her/his own reasons for coming along. The Apaches (any local power, really) are both protagonist and antagonist. One of the characters could be one of the locals. The antagonists are legion: -the climate/geography -the 'locals' at least partially -What guards the treasure... -the treasure itself. -Some other group of allied, once allied, or completely unrelated (this is good place for a recurring enemy if you have one, or want to introduce one...ala Belloq in the Indy movies) Blended with some other ideas here, this could be a solid core plot.
