Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for the upcoming remake of 1953’s classic French action thriller The Wages of Fear. The film is scheduled to make its debut on March 29.
“In the middle of the desert, near a refugee camp, an oil well catches fire, directly threatening the lives of the population. Dispatching experts to the site, the company operating the well realizes that it has only one solution to avert the catastrophe: detonate the oil well with nitroglycerin within 24 hours. Against a large sum of money, a powerhouse team is then sent 800 km away to transport 200 kg of explosives in two trucks,” reads the film’s synopsis.
“The team now has less than 20 hours to reach the oil well. And 20 hours to traverse hostile zones controlled by armed rebels, cross minefields, and drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over rough terrain. The race against the clock has begun…”
