Diamonds 1999

An elderly man and his estranged son search for treasure and try to repair their relationship. Harry Agensky, Kirk Douglas, is a one-time welterweight boxing champion who lives in Canada with his son Moses, Kurt Fuller. Harry’s other son, Lance, Dan Aykroyd, feels that his father never really cared about his dreams and ambitions, and now Lance has little affection for his dad. However, Lance’s relationship with his teenage son Michael, Corbin Allred, is not faring much better.

Lonely since the death of his wife and infirm due to a stroke, Harry wants to retire to a ranch in Northern Canada, but he can’t afford the property. Lance invites Harry along for a skiing trip with Michael; Harry agrees, but at the last minute he talks them into going to Nevada instead. Harry claims he threw a fight years ago and was paid off in a cache of diamonds that he hid somewhere in Reno; if he can find the gems, he’ll be able to buy the ranch. Lance is dubious, but he gives in to Harry’s determination and the three head for Nevada, hoping to find the diamonds.

On the way there, the trio stops at a Nevada brothel run by madame Sin-Dee, Lauren Bacall, so that Harry can have sex for the first time in eight years. The 18-year-old grandson Michael, Corbin Allred, gets his Dad to let him join so that he can lose his virginity. Following their quest for the hidden diamonds, both father and son learn a lesson about reconciliation and the price of growing older. Along the way they also cross paths with a gambler, John Landis, adding a sharp note of chance to their already uncertain journey.
