马里奥(伊夫·蒙当 Yves Montand 饰)是一个游手好闲的混混,在那个小镇里,所有的人都在找工作,可是没有一个人有正式的工作。就是这样一个贫穷的地方,每天还有无数人前来淘金,落魄的商人吉奥(查尔斯·文恩 Charles Vanel 饰)就是其中的一员。同时,命不 久矣的鲁奇(Folco Lulli 饰)和嚣张跋扈的班巴(彼得·范·埃克 Peter van Eyck 饰)也出现在了当地鱼龙混杂的酒吧里,他们的目标只有一个,那就是赚钱。 此时,500公里外的S•O•C石油公司的油井燃起了熊熊大火,为了灭火,必须有人驾驶着装有十吨硝化甘油的卡车开往此地,而对于公司的雇工来说,这无疑是自杀的举动,因为只要有任何一点点的颠簸和受热,十吨硝化甘油就将化为十吨威力无比的炸弹。无良的老板打起了混混们的主意,因为即使他们死了,也不会有工会来追究责任。马里奥、吉奥、班巴和鲁奇获得了这个危险的任务,并被允诺每人将有2000美金的酬劳。就这样,为了金钱,一行人将性命捏在手里,驶上了危险与恐惧并存的不归路。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
