text:  There are so many great road trip movies, but I thought one that maybe fits the bill a little off the beaten path is a movie called The Wages of Fear. It's a French movie from the 50s about a group of workers in South America who are recruited by an American oil company to drive two trucks filled with nitroglycerin through a jungle, which means that there's a lot of tension because an explosion could happen at any time. Maybe that reminds you of a road trip or two in your experience. It does with me.
