Directed by Cy Endfield.
Produced by the Rank Organization, Hell Drivers was a turning point for director Cy Endfield. Endfield (and Joseph Losey) regular Stanley Baker plays an ex-convict who takes a job as a truck driver at a gravel haulage company, but quickly grows outraged by the dangerous conditions and corruption he encounters. Filmed with brutal realism, Hell Drivers combines suspense with social analysis, and features a strong supporting cast.
