This trope describes a plot where the heroes are required to move nitroglycerine (or some other unstable, highly explosive substance) across bad terrain (rough ground, winding roads, etc). Note this
!!Examples:
[[AC:{{Film}}]]
*''Danger Patrol'', a 1937 about 'soup handlers' hauling nitro around the oilfields.
*''TheWagesOfFear'' (''Le Salaire de la peur''), a classic 1953 French film. When a South American oil well owned by an American company catches fire, the company hires four European men, down on their luck, to drive two trucks over mountain dirt roads, carrying the nitroglycerine needed to extinguish the fire.
** Remade as ''Violent Road'' (aka ''Hell's Highway'') in 1958, and ''Sorcerer'' in 1977.
* ''{{Chill Factor}}'':A 1999 Movie that's perfectly described in this trope.
* In the film ''VerticalLimit'', the characters must transport nitroglycerin up K2 as part of a rescue mission.
* ''The Legend Of {{Zorro}}'': The hero and the villain have a swordfight on top of a train ''loaded'' with the stuff.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''MissionImpossible'': "Nitro"
* The ''{{MacGyver}}'' episode "Hellfire". Mac has to transport old, sweating dynamite cross-country from an abandoned mine to extinguish an oilwell fire on a friends claim.
* There was an episode of ''TheATeam'' where they were transporting dynamite - which is not normally volitile until/unless it has a blasting cap attached - but it was really really hot and as a result the sticks of dynamite were sweating nitroglycerine.
[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* Referenced in ''Convoy'' (the song). The convoy's unofficial leader, Rubber Duck, asks a chartreuse minibus driven by 'eleven long-haired friends of Jesus' (that is, Hippies) to put their bus in behind a 'suicide jockey'. "Yeah, he's hauling dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get!" Considering that the convoy is, by then, doing 98 [=MpH=] and crashing through roadblocks and the like, his worries are understandable - under those conditions, even dynamite (which was specifically designed to be a more stable alternative to nitro) can't be considered particularly safe.
