It is reported that before the film crew of "The Conqueror" went to the Snow Canyon location to shoot, the film's producer Hughes and his advisory team had reported to the US Atomic Energy The committee consulted about whether the Snow Canyon area was safe for the crew to film. U.S. government experts claimed to them that the area had not suffered any nuclear contamination, when in fact government scientists apparently told them a huge lie.
In 1954, the unsuspecting "Conqueror" crew filmed a full 13 weeks of location in the Utah desert snow canyon, the film director Dick; Powell, actor John; Wayne, actress Susan; Hayward De and other movie stars and crew had to work in temperatures of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, a flash flood nearly swept away all the crew props, and the heroine Susan was nearly killed by a black panther attack.
What the Conqueror crew didn't know at the time, however, was that the worst was far from here. In order to shoot large-scale war scenes, director Powell ordered the crew to use many electric fans to blow against the sand, thus creating a war scene with galloping horses and dusty sky. All the crew members can say that the film was shot in the sky all day long, and even the food they eat every day is covered with a lot of dust. No doubt they all inhaled massive amounts of deadly nuclear fallout while filming the film. To make matters worse, when 13 weeks of location shooting ended, producer Hughes also ordered 60 tons of sand to be transported from Snow Canyon to Hollywood so that some of the remaining desert war scenes could be filmed in Hollywood, which led to some The crew members who did not participate in the location shooting also inhaled the nuclear radiation dust later. All 220 crew members of the film "Conqueror" can be said to be spared, and almost all of them inhaled more or less mixed in the snow canyon sand. Nuclear radiation particles in dust.
Almost half of the actors contracted cancer
. In the next 30 years, among the 220 crew members who filmed "The Conqueror", 91 people suffered from cancer successively, and more than half of them had been killed by cancer. Those who died of cancer included the film's director Powell, actor John; Wayne, heroine Susan; Hayward and Agnes; Moorhead, Pedro; Amendaritz, John; Hoyt and several others famous movie star. The cast members who died of cancer did not include the native Indians who acted as extras for the film, many of whom later died of cancer.
Pedro committed suicide in a hospital bed a month after the filming ended because he was unwilling to endure long-term pain. He has been suffering from guilt, regretting that he chose Snow Canyon as the location for "The Conqueror". He later spent $12 million to reclaim all copies of the film, causing Hollywood's "most ominous film" to disappear from the public eye for 17 years. After The Conqueror disappeared from public view, Hughes allegedly watched the film alone every day in his Las Vegas mansion.
