Sorcerer is a 1977 US/Mexico adventure thriller by William Friedkin
Starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer and Francisco Rabal
 The European version titled Wages of Fear was shortened. The US version titled Sorcerer
is complete Summary Notes Four unfortunate men from different parts of the globe agree to risk their lives transporting gallons of nitroglycerin across dangerous Latin American
jungle.
UK: The US Version is uncut and BBFC 15 rated for strong violence, injury detail:
- 2025 Spirit Entertainment R0 4K Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on 6th
October 2025
Promotional Material A hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be
recognized decades later as one of the boldest auteur statements of the New Hollywood. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives-a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian
businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)-take on a seemingly doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin
turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension-conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.
