The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel "Le Salaire de la peur", it has been widely considered a remake of the first adaptation, the 1953 film "The Wages of Fear".  Friedkin, however, has disagreed with this assessment.  The plot depicts four outcasts from varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned to transport cargoes of nitroglycerin.
