About it
About To celebrate Spielberg's 80th Birthday we present his striking first film from 1971: DUEL It's about a man who is driving to a business meeting and part of his journey is through the desert. He starts being followed by an ugly as hell diesel Peterbilt truck. The truck starts passing Weaver and then starts bumping him later on. The suspense in this movie is great. You cannot see the truck driver but he has plates from all over the US that makes you think he picks random people out and starts harassing them. It reminds you of a Hitchcock film. The suspense builds and builds and you feel Dennis Weaver's fear. Approximate Run Time - 100 minutes Show is Suitable For - PG
