The Walking Hills

ActionAdventureThrillerWestern78 min

A desert treasure hunt pulls together nine uneasy travelers, each with a different reason for joining the search and more than one secret in tow. Among them is a detective following a fugitive, but the trail to buried gold quickly tangles with lies, shifting loyalties, and private schemes. As the group pushes deeper into the wasteland, suspicion spreads: some are hiding their names, some their pasts, and some their plans for whoever finds the loot first. A romance complicates the chase when the woman at the center of the expedition is drawn between the fugitive and the man hunting him, turning the hunt into a standoff where greed and mistrust can break the party apart.
