"A Prize of Gold" is a 1955 adventure film which follows an officer motivated by love and compassion to begin a life of crime.

Plot

Sergeant Joe Lawrence (Widmark) is an American Army officer who, while stationed in Berlin shortly after the end of World War II, falls in love with Maria (Zetterling), a refugee. Maria is trying to raise enough money to move a group of German orphans to South America, where they can start life anew. Joe wants to help her, and with his buddies Sergeant Roger Morris (Cole) and Brian Hammell (Patrick), Joe plans a daring robbery. A fortune in gold is being transferred to England from Germany via military transport, and the trio intend to hijack the plane. While the robbery goes off almost as planned, the three participants begin to have second thoughts about what to do with their ill-gotten gains.
