Four outcasts from varied backgrounds meet in a South American village, where they are assigned to transport cargoes of aged, poorly kept dynamite that is so unstable that it is ‘sweating’ its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin.
Awesome movie. Surprised I’d never heard of it before. Really gripping, up to the end, and a great soundtrack too. For the non-English language in the first 15 mins, you can turn on subtitles and also “translate to English” and the results are pretty good.
EDIT: Turns out it didn’t do so well* because it came out at the same time as the very first Star Wars! Talk about bad timing…
*also bc it has nothing to do with sorcery. and bc the first part of the movie has subtitles, and the studios didn’t really support the marketing…
