Overview

William Friedkin’s intense 1977 reimagining of The Wages of Fear follows four desperate fugitives transporting volatile nitroglycerin across treacherous terrain in South America. Featuring a chilling Tangerine Dream score, Sorcerer blends tension, grit, and existential dread into one of the most underrated thrillers of the 1970s.
