'Mackenna's Gold' is a 1969 American western film directed by J. Lee Thompson, featuring Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Telly Savalas, Ted Cassidy, Camilla Sparv and Julie Newmar in lead roles. It was photographed in Super Panavision 70 and Technicolor. It is based on the novel of the same name by Heck Allen using the pen name Will Henry, telling the story of how the lure of gold corrupts a diverse group of people. The novel was loosely based on the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings, a story from the early 1860s, that refers to the existence of a canyon rich in gold deposits somewhere in western New Mexico.
