The End of the Road is a 1954 British drama film directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Finlay Currie, Duncan Lamont and Naomi Chance.

[1] It was produced by Group Three Films as a second feature with funding from the NFFC and distributed by British Lion.

A veteran worker at the Jericho Works strongly resists when he has retirement forced upon him by his employers.

Mick-Mack discovers it is drops of honey (from bees in the roof) which are ruining the process.

The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane note that The End of the Road was "rightly praised" at the time of its release by Kinematograph Weekly as "provocative and purposeful entertainment", and they add that it is "characterised by a real feeling for cramped working-class life and for the gap left when suddenly one is no longer required to be anywhere on a regular basis".
