"Political refugees and down and out wanderers find themselves trapped in South America, wanting to return to Europe, but unable due to their empty pockets. At last they find their only opportunity to make the necessary money for the return voyage--but to earn the money, they have to drive an unstable truck full of explosives accross mountainous terrain and unfit roads. The coward and the courageous choose death over emprisonment." Notes: a sort of existentialist thriller. Director: Clouzot. Actors: "Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Peter van Eyck" . Black&White. Country: France. Subtitled.
