In a decrepit South American village, four men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe.
On reading about another film Sunshine (2007) I saw that Danny Boyle had used the film The Wages of Fear as inspiration for the type of suspense he wanted to create in Sunshine.
On a whim, I watched this movie with a friend and was blown away by how much media is influenced by this film! I am a pretty big fan of Death Stranding and There Will Be Blood and both of those works draw heavily upon this film.
An awesome suspense film that I have to recommend!

Never heard of this film before, looks pretty good. I’ll have to add it to my watchlist. Thanks for the rec!
This looks like the original story for William Friedkin’s Sorcerer, a film I really enjoyed. Thanks for this one, I will check it out!
I saw that Sorcerer was based on the same premise as well. Looking forward to watching that with my friend!
