Criterion Collection

A hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkins pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognized decades later as one of the New Hollywoods boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou) take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dreams otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.
