Sorcerer (Friedkin, 1977): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.35pm



This 4K restoration of William Friedkin's classic film, part of the 'Who Can You Trust?' season, also screens on October 19th at BFI Southbank. You can find all the details here.

BFI introduction:
Four wanted men embark on a hazardous mission starting in a small South American town. If they transport some chronically unstable nitroglycerine across country for about 200 miles then they will be given money and citizenship. But they underestimate the dangers as they negotiate treacherous terrain and unwanted attention from outsiders. While William Friedkin’s film draws on Clouzot’s The Wages of Fear, Sorcerer stands alone as a truly great and heart-stopping thriller.
