“An energetic and violent trucking thriller marked by the raw, angry edge of the best of blacklist victim Endfield’s Hollywood work and by his appreciation of the markedly out-of-the-mainstream talent of Stanley Baker.”
—Time Out
As rough and tough as it gets. The great Welsh actor Stanley Baker plays an unemployable ex-con who gets a job at a distinctly unfriendly trucking company transporting rocks in overloaded trucks on impossible schedules alongside other desperadoes. Inevitably, he clashes with the alpha-dog driver, played by Patrick McGoohan, a psychotically competitive and vengeful lunatic. Lots of terrifying road action and a great cast including Herbert Lom and a pre-stardom Sean Connery. In 35mm.
