Le salaire de la peur

.





A convoy of trucks driven by four derelicts transports dangerous nitroglycerin to try and quell an oil well fire. Their long, harrowing ride over bad roads with their cargo ready to explode at every jolt and jar; the drivers are gambling with their very lives against the opportunity to escape from their steaming, sordid environment.
Staring Yves Montand and Charles Vanel.

Aha! The title translates to "The Wages of Fear" The Violent Road (aka Hell's Highway), directed by Howard W. Koch in 1958; and Sorcerer, directed by William Friedkin in 1977, are American remakes.

I knew I had seen that film....
