Tension builds between the men as they inch their way over the treacherous mountain roads, in the knowledge that the slightest jolt could have explosive consequences. This classic thriller from Henri-Georges Clouzot, the ‘French Hitchcock’, “has no superior in the field of action-suspense” (The Guardian).
