Sorcerer is a 1977 American action-thriller film produced and directed by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur, it is often considered a remake of the 1953 film The Wages of Fear, although Friedkin disagreed with this assessment. The film depicts four outcasts from varied backgrounds living in a South American village assigned to transport two trucks loaded with aged, poorly kept dynamite that is "sweating" its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin.
