Duell am Steuer (1957)
Eine Handvoll Lastwagenfahrer arbeitet irgendwo in der englischen Provinz für eine dubiose Firma. Es wird verlangt auf Teufelsstraßen mit einem Durchschnittstempo von 80 Sachen Fracht zu transportieren, wenn man nicht den Job verlieren will. Ein aus dem Gefängnis entlassener Kraftfahrer erhält eine Bewährungschance, muss aber feststellen, dass der skrupellose Anführer der Fahrermeute den anderen das Leben zur Hölle macht. Es kommt zur wüsten Auseinandersetzungen auf der Landstraße und im alltäglichen Miteinander. Ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod ...
