The tension builds up until its too hard to bear! This milestone in action films follows four members of a small village forced to drive trucks of nitro-glycerine 500 miles across bumpy roads, mountain ranges and marshland. The tiniest bump will blow the whole truck up, killing its passengers. This perfectly crafted thriller will have you with your face in you hands, barely peeking through and as on the edge of you're seat as is physically possible! An absolute must see, not seeing this film in inexcusable!
