Highway To Hell is a new-age cinematic documentary exploring the life story, philosophy and motivations of a group of nomad mechanics from north India, who travel around the year to perform death-defying stunts in 'the well of death'.

Highway To Hell explores the lives of Gholu, Maroof, Ali and Raees, riders who perform over 10 hours a day on decades-old Yamaha RX 100 bikes and Maruti 800 cars in a 40-feet high circular wooden wall - the reason for the livelihood of over 100 men. It documents the lives of these poor Muslim mechanics from Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal who become semi-celebrities in their towns. Apart from the riders, the film will delve into the lives of jokers, dancers, workers and foremen that form the part of this caravan of talent - the ones who work behind the scenes to attract audiences to this spectacle of daredevilry. Highway to Hell throws light on difficulties they face because of their dangerous line of work: finding a bride, applying for life insurance, moving to other jobs and family conflicts, while capturing aspects of the adrenaline rush, money, stardom and the admiration from women fans it brings to them. It delves into the technicalities of their training, food and precautions they need to take to stay safe while riding in the well, apart from their 'romantic relationship' with their rides and love-hate relationship with their job.—Zeyad Masroor Khan
