Ex-con Stanley Baker takes a job as a truck driver in which he competes with the other drivers for pay and bonuses. The drivers are ruthless, the roads dangerous and the managers corrupt. Since they all live together at a nearby boarding house, their off time is spent drinking, fighting and courting the local girls, leading to more fighting and backstabbing. Baker must somehow keep his morals in the face of increasing pressure from the leader of the truckers. Patrick McGoohan stands out in an excellent cast of the best British actors, many of which were just at the beginning of their careers.
