Campbell's Kingdom
From the same-titled novel by Hammond Innes. Bruce Campbell (Dirk Bogarde) inherits "Campbell's Kingdom" in the Canadian Rockies when his grandfather dies. He has been told he has a disease that will kill him, but it's not clear what it is. He decides to try to find the oil his grandfather thought was on his land to clear his family's name, since his grandfather was wrongly found guilty of fraud when his oil exploration company went bankrupt. Owen Morgan, played by Stanley Baker, is the boss of a company building a dam that will flood the "Kingdom" when it is finished. To prove that the oil is there before the dam is finished is a race against time.
