It's a man's world in 1950s South America, when Yves Montand is tasked with transporting dangerously explosive nitro-glycerine across rough terrain. It's a job that only the poor and desperate will take on, and not everyone will make it. This is a thrill-a-minute intense journey, with Montand in a vest and neckerchief making this like riding the queerest roller-coaster French cinema can provide. Sacre bleu - this is a blast.
