Warning: Spoilers
The plot of The Wages of Fear takes place on the road and at full speed ahead as our main characters are battling the clock. The story begins when an oil well catches fire in the middle of the desert, near a refugee camp. This fire is directly threatening the lives of the population...

However, the original story is somewhat similar in essence...The oil well must be detonated with nitroglycerin within 24 hours...The race against the clock has begun,the point of the quest is to save the day and survive...

To do yet another remake is quite a thing, but enough changes have also been made to update it.

The location has been changed,perhaps it's not the most elegant way of updating a story, but it does make it feel more interested for the time we invest in it...

The outstanding cast including Franck Gastambide, Ana Girardot, and Alban Lenoir in pivotal roles & their performances are nothing short of exceptional, resonating deeply despite the unfamiliar setting and circumstances.

The supporting cast, featuring talents like Sofiane Zermani and Joseph Beddelem, further elevates the film with their contributions...

The driving sequences are rife with suspense and the film's relentless intensity immerses you completely in the characters' harrowing predicaments... Overall "The Wages of Fear'' is a thrilling ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat, your nerves taut and your adrenaline pumping...
