In a decrepit South American village, men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe.
A classic of suspenseful cinema that also offers good detail to the period and place of the action, I still think it takes a bit too long, before the actual story begins.
Halliwell***: "After too extened an introduction to the less than admirable characters, this fascinating film resolves itself into a suspense shocker with one craftily managed bad moment after another."
Maltin***1/2: "Marvelous, gritty, and extremely suspenseful epic..."
