Plot

In the frost-bitten wilderness of the Arctic, Jack McCann (Gene Hackman) has spent a lonely fifteen-year quest for fortune. In 1925, his relentless search pays off when he stumbles upon a mountain, not of rock, but of gleaming gold, catapulting him into the ranks of the world's richest. Twenty years later, Jack, now a magnate, enjoys the opulence of his Caribbean island sanctuary, a realm he wholly owns. However, his life is far from tranquil. He grapples with his discontented wife, Helen (Jane Lapotaire), who seeks refuge in the seductive embrace of alcohol. Equally challenging is his strong-willed daughter, Tracy (Theresa Russell), who has unwittingly bound herself to a debauched socialite, a man more devoted to his vices than his vows. To further complicate his existence, Miami mobsters, hungry for his paradise island, plot to erect their casino on its pristine beaches. Jack's life thus becomes a complex tapestry of human obsessions. It's a world where greed, power, and decadence dance on a stage set against a backdrop of mystical symbols. As he navigates this labyrinth, he realizes that golden mountains often cast the darkest shadows.
