Campbell's Kingdom
Adapted from Hammond Innes's novel of the same name. Following his grandfather's death, Bruce Campbell (Dirk Bogarde) inherits "Campbell's Kingdom" in the Canadian Rockies. He's been diagnosed with an unnamed fatal illness and chooses to see if he can locate the oil that his grandfather claimed was present on his land, as well as clear his family's name; when his oil exploration firm went bankrupt, his grandfather was wrongfully convicted of fraud. Owen Morgan (Stanley Baker) is the owner of a corporation that is building a dam that would flood the "Kingdom" once it is completed. It's a race against the clock to show the oil is there before the dam is built.
