Duel

Terror on the road. After this movie you may never want to drive again.


Duel stars Dennis Weaver, who plays an average salesman that's just trying to travel from point A to B. However, what he didn't plan on was, between these points, the open road can be a dangerous place. He unwillingly becomes part of a cat and mouse game, where the terrorizer is an enormous truck. Dennis Weaver masterfully portrays his role with pure terror, confusion, comedy and lots of sweat.



Duel was Steven Spielberg's full length feature debut and has common threads to his later films. Even in this early work, Spielberg was able to build tension without showing too much. He offers us a character that we immediately can identify with, which draws us into the story and causes us to sit on the edge of our seats.
