About this movie

Steven Spielberg directs Duel, a high-velocity thriller about a motorist terrorized by an evil truck. As Spielberg's first full-length movie, Duel helped jumpstart the director's big-screen career, with a gripping, action-packed story hailed by critics as a film that "belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers" (Dailey Variety). Dennis Weaver stars as the traveling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out. Praised for its deft use of relentlessly mounting psychological tension, Duel features one of the most uniquely terrifying "characters" in movie history: a massive, roaring, 40-ton truck with sheer menace.

I remember this from my childhood on tv. This was a teaser of what was to come from a certain Mr. Speilberg (in my opinion, this is Jaws on dry land). A must view for suspense/ Speilberg fans!

Simple premise, but played out in so many ways. Spielberg's first film shows him to be a master of suspense and tension. Excellent. I watch it every 3 or 4 years.

An absolute classic, the tension builds from the get go, one of those rare films you can watch many times, a film that inspired many, notably joy ride.
