Duel (1971)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Steven Spielberg
My rating: 4 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Universal)

Meek traveling salesman Dennis Weaver is accosted by an unknown truck driver on a lonely desert highway in southern California. At first it seems the truck driver merely wants to annoy Weaver, but it soon becomes clear that his intentions are deadly serious. Weaver's Plymouth Valiant is no match for the dirty, monstrous Peterbilt truck, the real star of the film. Spielberg never lifts his foot off the suspense in this intense, Hitchcock-inspired thriller from the pen of Richard Matheson.
