The Wages of Fear (French: Le Salaire de la peur) is a 1953 French-Italian thriller film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, starring Yves Montand, and based on a 1950 novel by Georges Arnaud.
When a South American oil well owned by an American company catches fire, the company hires four European men, down on their luck, to drive two trucks over mountain dirt roads, carrying the nitroglycerine needed to extinguish the fire. With this, Clouzot reached international fame and received some prizes : Palme d'Or at the festival de cannes and Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
