The TVI Take
Werner Herzog's 1982 Klaus Kinski-anchored film about an Irish rubber baron in Peru attempting to move a 320-ton steamship over a mountain. The structural commitment was that Herzog ACTUALLY moved the ship — no special effects, no models.
The film's making-of documentary (Burden of Dreams) is widely cited alongside the feature itself as canonical-cinema material.
