A vivid tale of priceless Zapotecan artifacts, deadly deception and sinister treasure-seekers unfolds in Plunder of the Sun, based on the novel by best-selling author David Dodge. Brought to the screen by John Wayne's Batjac production company, Glenn Ford stars as American insurance adjuster Al Colby, a man who unwittingly becomes involved with a fortune in ancient curios after being asked to carry a mysterious package aboard a ship sailing from Havana to Mexico. Colby's seemingly innocent mission becomes a dangerous game of pursuit when he discovers that others - including two seductive women and a double-crossing rogue - are determined to take possession of the parcel he carries at any cost. John Farrow directs this mystery-thriller set amidst the spectacular archaeological ruins of Mitla and Monte Alban near Oaxaca, Mexico.
