Released from prison and seeking anonymity, Tom Yately takes a job with a firm of unscrupulous haulage contractors who stretch both drivers and regulations to the limit. Stanley Baker stars (in his first leading role) as the ex-con driving lorries at perilous speeds to meet the deadlines of a haulage company, who uncovers a racket run by his unprincipled manager. There’s a splendid performance from Patrick McGoohan as a lethal rival driver and a marvellous co-starring role for Herbert Lom. The supporting cast is also top class – a veritable Who’s Who of British actors who would go on to find fame on the big and the small screens, none more so than a young, pre-Bond Sean Connery. This gripping British thriller is given a cutting edge of social reality by former Hollywood director Cy Endfield (billed here as C Raker Endfield) who relocated to Britain in 1953 after falling foul of HUAC (the House Un-American Activities Committee).
