Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe rocket launched at the beginning of the movie is a Viking rocket. According to "The Viking Rocket Story" by Rosen, a static test - where the rocket engine is fired but the rocket remains on the pad - went bad when the rocket left the launch pad completely out of control. Housing for the families of the workers was close enough to be within range. Luckily the rocket landed in the desert and did not hurt anyone.
- GoofsWhen Frank tightens the cap to prevent the corrosive liquid from leaking out, he uses his bare hand which leads to severe burning, rather than simply using his shirt or scarf for protection. He easily could have used a wrench from the tool box his mechanic was using at the time.

Featured review
lesser remake
Trucker Mitch Barton (Brian Keith) has three days to transport explosive rocket fuel over a dangerous mountain road. He had lied, but the owner has no choice. He has no trucks and no drivers. The company provides the trucks and Mitch recruits a few hard-lucked drivers.
This is an American remake of The Wages of Fear (1953). This one is only a shadow of its superior predecessor. The tension never gets that high. It doesn't have the fear. Not enough of the road looks dangerous. There are moments which suggest at what this could have been. This one has less to say about the wages. Neither the fear nor the wages are all there. It's all a little less.
