Duel

Duel

1971

This is the 1971 TV movie that made studio executives take notice of a young Steven Spielberg. A businessman (Dennis Weaver) driving on an isolated highway is in a hurry to get to an appointment. He ends up in a game of road rage with the driver of a menacing big rig -- a driver we never see. The thrills and tension make Duel well worth a spin.

A duel is about to begin between a man, a truck, and an open road. Where a simple battle of wits is now a matter of life and death.
