DVD cover for Sorcerer (1977)

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.


The following weapons were used in the film Sorcerer:

Victor Manzo (Bruno Cremer) is seen finding his business partner having killed himself with a MAC Mle 1950 in order to avoid an impending police investigation in France during the prologue.
