Storyline
Featured review
Before French series JOE GAILLARD and the US MOVIN'ON, this tremendous French drama series is a must see for those who want to know more aboout truck drivers. Except that in this one, there is no criminal element, unlike the two previous TV shows, where the leads had to deal with hoodlums from time to time. LA ROUTE is a deep and accurate analysis of truck drivers daily life, their problems related to their wives relations, technical problems of all kinds - sleep behind the wheel, accidents, black ice, greedy peasants or fruit companies whom they work with, no insurance in case of an accident... It is also a powerful analysis of human relationship between those truck drivers, common folks, yes, but not that much. It explains their rules, codes. A tale about friendship, but also envy, jealousy. I am sure it was a success when it was aired, back in 1964. Very popular. I am sure.
