Inferno is a 1953 American thriller drama starring Robert Ryan, William Lundigan and Rhonda Fleming, directed by Roy Ward Baker.

When millionaire industrialist Donald Carson III breaks his leg during a trip through the Mojave Desert, his wife Gerry and her lover, mining engineer Joe Duncan, tell him they will seek medical aid.

He vows to survive in order to exact revenge on his adulterous wife and her accomplice, who have flown to Carson's mansion in Los Angeles while waiting for him to either succumb to the desert heat, or commit suicide.

That evening at his shack, Elby prepares a supper for Carson, who confesses to his rescuer that although revenge is what sustained him, the treachery of his wife and her lover no longer seem important.

The next day, as Elby is driving Carson to the nearest town, they spy Gerry walking alone on a long, remote stretch of desert road.
