The classic early Steven Spielberg TV movie, Duel starring Dennis Weaver is to get a special 50th Anniversary Blu ray release in the UK from Fabulous Films.
A young Steven Spielberg directed this high-velocity thriller about an innocent motorist terrorised by an evil truck. Spielberg’s first full-length movie, Duel, helped jumpstart the director’s career, with a gripping, action packed story hailed by critics as a classic suspense thriller.
Dennis Weaver stars as the travelling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out for destruction. 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 more sheer menace than most flesh-and-blood villains.
