In a small South American village, four men on the run from the law are offered $10,000 if they will transport a shipment of dangerously unstable nitroglycerin through the jungle, to an oil well 200 miles away. Led by Jackie Scanlon (Roy Scheider), the men set off on a hazardous journey, during which they must contend with dangerous roads, unstable bridges, and attacks from local guerillas. Directed by William Friedkin, and featuring an incredible soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
