In a
squalid South American oil town, four desperate men 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.
