Illustrates many interesting ethical questions: Do we "owe" something to our ancestors? Do the dead have property? When should a person risk his life for another? Is lying ever right? It feels a little long, but the conversation about it could be longer.

Wagner's character is extremely unlikeable and drags this whole movie down. He blackmails his brother to get him to take him up the mountain, and basically resorts to murder just so he can keep the riches on the mountaintop.
