The story
A rocket plant must be relocated after a deadly accident. Trucker Mitch Barton (Brian Keith) recruits a team for a suicidal job: to drive three trucks carrying extremely hazardous chemicals (nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrazine) over a treacherous mountain road in just three days for $5,000 each. The rocket fuel developer, George Lawrence (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.), joins the group to ensure safety.
