Storyline
A group of outcasts from different backgrounds/nationalities are forced by misfortune to work in a remote oil drilling operation in South America. When fire breaks out of control, four of the outcasts are given the opportunity to earn enough money to get out by transporting six crates of unstable dynamite through miles of jungle in two ancient trucks. Will they succeed and regain their honor and citizenship, or get blown up for their efforts? Written by Keith Loh <loh@sfu.ca>, David Lee (dave@madebydave.com)

Trivia
The robbery of the church in the Elizabeth NJ prologue was based on a real life church robbery that took place three blocks from where the church in the film was shot. The perpetrator of that crime was Gerard Murphy a former ex-con who became an actor. Friedkin gave him the part of the head of the robbery/Donnelly mob. See more »Goofs
