Le salaire de la peur

Le salaire de la peur

 
Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot (1953)

In the squalid, impoverished South American town of Las Piedras, desperate men and women from all over the world scrape out a living and dream of escape, under the watchful eye of the ruling Southern Oil Company. When a well explodes 300 miles away, the American company conscripts four of these unfortunates to drive trucks loaded with volatile nitroglycerin through treacherous mountains, a suicide mission that is their only way out. With “The Wages Of Fear” legendary director Henri-Georges Clouzot created one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid-an epic portrait of courage and cowardice, bursting with white-nuckle suspense and raw emotion.

With: Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Peter Van Eyck, Vera Clouzot.
