Duel

Before sharks, aliens, and dinosaurs, there was a mad truck. With Duel, Steven Spielberg delivered his first feature film and his first success. Adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson, already renowned for his episodes of The Twilight Zone, this film presents a gripping chase between an unlucky traveling salesman and the unseen driver of a menacing truck. A terrifying and thrilling experience, it is built around a single character, two vehicles, and the vast emptiness of the desert.
