Search for the Gods (TV Movie)

From 1975, an era when publications and talk shows speculated that space aliens had long ago visited Earth and left evidence of their visit, comes Search for the Gods. In this TV Movie, three adventurers come into possession of a mysterious medallion-like relic believed to be some of that evidence.

Metallurgical tests show that the artifact is made of an unknown alloy and when a museum curator opines it is an interlocking piece to a larger item, the trio sets out in hopes of finding another relic. Meanwhile, others seek to buy the medallion - or kill for it.

Stephen McHattie (Watchmen's Hollis Mason, aka Nite Owl) plays a drifter who receives the artifact from a Native American holy man. Top-billed Kurt Russell (six years before his iconic role as Snake Plissken in Escape from New York) plays the Taos, New Mexico townie who teams up with the drifter. And Victoria Racimo (Falcon Crest) rounds out the film's key trio.
