Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe rocket launched at the beginning of the movie is a Viking rocket. According to "The Viking Rocket Story" by Rosen, a static test - where the rocket engine is fired but the rocket remains on the pad - went bad when the rocket left the launch pad completely out of control. Housing for the families of the workers was close enough to be within range. Luckily the rocket landed in the desert and did not hurt anyone.
- GoofsWhen Frank tightens the cap to prevent the corrosive liquid from leaking out, he uses his bare hand which leads to severe burning, rather than simply using his shirt or scarf for protection. He easily could have used a wrench from the tool box his mechanic was using at the time.

Featured review
The cigar chomping executive hires a group of tinhorn drivers led by a re-tread trucker to haul rocket fuel by truck across a treacherous route. A strict timeline and big pay outs await for a successful convoy across desert and difficult backroads. A entertaining'B'film which I could imagine sitting in a theater and watching back in the day. Brian Keith never once face-palmed even with all the challenges he faced as trail boss.
