Steven Spielberg's Duel is tense, exciting, and suspenseful. A traveling salesman is being stalked by a crazed truck driver. Set in an impact-filled environment, a film with unforgettable performances and nail-biting suspense, Duel captures the very essence of an emerging Spielberg talent and became a cult classic. Its influence is still apparent in many contemporary thrillers.
