Set in a squalid South American oil town, where four desperate men (including legend Yves Montand) sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves.

The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense, Henri-Georges Clouzot.

This thrilling adaptation of the Georges Arnaud novel is a raw, keyed-up cinematic excursion that puts Clouzot’s effortless command of mood and suspense on full display. It also become the inspiration for the 1977 William Friedkin film, “Sorcerer.”
