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

Superb
Loved this film, in places it felt modern production rather than 1950. The acting, scene settings action and story were all excellent. It is quite long and the first scenes introducing the characters could maybe have been reduced slightly. Great seeing it for first time and made all the better with 4k.
