Synopsis
This “existential thriller” (Pauline Kael) by director Henri-Georges Clouzot is a beautifully shot hell ride where a group of desperados are tasked with transporting truckloads of volatile explosives over hostile terrain to put out a fire. The story was memorably remade by William Friedkin as SORCERER, but the original has tension and cinematic beauty all its own.
