What is Treasure Hunter about?
An aging treasure hunter, still driven by a promise made to his late mentor, sets off after a long-rumored fortune once belonging to Christopher Columbus. His plan changes when he crosses paths with a streetwise young man who talks his way into becoming an apprentice, and the two spend the rest of the trip bickering, improvising, and covering for each other's mistakes. Between chases, dead ends, and rival treasure seekers, the mismatched pair slowly turn into something closer to family than a business partnership, even as neither one fully trusts the other's motives. The film leans into comic set-pieces as much as adventure spectacle.
Cast & crew
Carlos Alcántara and Franco Cabrera lead the pairing at the center of the story, backed by Sergio Galliani, Patricia Barreto, and a supporting cast drawn from both Peruvian and Dominican productions. Héctor Valdez directs the cross-border co-production, blending comedic timing with globe-trotting adventure staging.
Context & significance
Buddy-adventure comedies with a scrappy mentor-apprentice dynamic tend to cross language barriers easily, and this Latin American entry offers Persian-speaking families a lighter, humor-forward alternative to heavier drama. K-Time carries Treasure Hunter with a Persian dub, making the jokes and banter land without needing to read along.
