A TV movie good enough to warrant a theatrical release, Duel is a taste of
glories to come. Tight, relentless and frightening, Spielberg's tale
of a driver pursued by a malevolent truck comes over all brooding threat
and growling evil, the tension spiraling down the highway on its
inevitably destructive route. Dennis Weaver sweats like he's got
Gentle Ben in the car with him, but the real star is the truck. And just who
is behind the wheel? Why Steven Spielberg, of course...
