Henri-Georges Clouzots The Wages of Fear is a tense classic thriller about desperate men hired to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerine across treacherous South American terrain. As they battle collapsing roads, jungle dangers, and their own fear, the film becomes both a nerve-shredding survival story and a harsh critique of exploitation and capitalism.

Based on the 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur and critically hailed upon its original release, The Wages of Fear propelled its director Henri-Georges Clouzot (Les Diaboliques) to international fame, and is rightly considered a classic of world cinema.

In a squalid South American village, four desperate men are hired by a US oil company to embark on a treacherous journey, transporting a volatile cargo of nitro-glycerine to a massive oil well fire. Friendships and courage are pushed to the limit in this nail-biting thriller by a director who would go on to be dubbed the French Hitchcock.

In a decrepit South American village, four men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe.
