The Wages of Fear / Lohn der Angst / Le Salaire de la peur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wages_of_Fear (
1953)
The movie:

A timeless hit, pure goosebumps, first-class cast down to the smallest supporting roles.
A masterpiece of modern film history, seen dozens of times and touching again and again, just great!

P.S. Even as an older lady, my mother, born in 1935, often spoke about the film when this film was once again being broadcast in the late evening programme.
The film made a lasting impression on the lady, certainly a formative cinematic experience of the early 1950s, very understandable...
The paradise of the successful lends itself perfectly to a hell for the unsuccessful. (Bertold Brecht on Hollywood)
