Sorcerer is a 1977 remake of the 1953 French film Le Salaire de la peur (The Wages of Fear) directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection). The film follows four men, each on the run from the law, who embark on a dangerous mission to extinguish a fire at a Venezuelan oil well by delivering a cargo of unstable explosives.
The following firearms are featured in Sorcerer:
Handguns
Beretta M951
Victor Manzon's (Bruno Cremer) business partner shoots himself with a Beretta M951 in order to avoid an impending police investigation in France during the prologue.
Colt Detective Special
During the robbery of a mob-owned bingo parlor at a New Jersey church, one of the robbers uses a suppressed Colt Detective Special.
Star Model B
One of the robbers draws a Star Model B pistol during an argument after the robbery, distracting Jackie Scanlon (Roy Scheider) and causing him to crash the getaway car.
Unknown Revolver
Nilo (Francisco Rabal), an assassin, uses a revolver throughout the film, firing it several times while the cargo trucks are stuck in the jungle.
