THE WAGES OF FEAR (4K RESTORATION)

TONIGHT, MAY 25 AT 7:00 PM


In a squalid South American oil town, four desperate men sign on for a su***de mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense, Henri-Georges Clouzot.

“One of the greatest thrillers ever made.” — The New York Times

Cornered, Teca makes an intriguing journey hidden from the officers amidst rivers, boats and the underworld to clandestinely try to fulfill her last dream, to take a plane ride.
