'''''Sorcerer''''' is a 1977 thriller directed by [[William Friedkin]] ''([[The French Connection]])''.  The film is ostensibly a remake of the 1953 French film ''Le Salaire de la peur'' (''[[The Wages of Fear]]''), however director Friedkin maintains that he wrote a new story utilizing the names of the characters.  The film follows four men, each on the run from the law, who embark on a dangerous mission to extinguish a fire at a Venezuelan oil well by delivering a cargo of unstable explosives.  The film was a box office disappointment upon its initial theatrical release, which unfortunately coincided with the release of the original ''[[Star Wars]]''.

Sorcerer (1977)

Sorcerer is a 1977 thriller directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection). Ostensibly a remake of the 1953 French drama Le Salaire de la peur (The Wages of Fear), the film follows four men (Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Amidou, and Francisco Rabal) each on the run from the law, who embark on a dangerous mission to extinguish a fire at a Venezuelan oil well by delivering a cargo of unstable explosives. The film was a box office disappointment upon its initial theatrical release, which unfortunately coincided with the release of the original Star Wars, but has since gained cult status.


The following weapons were used in the film Sorcerer:
