Duel

This time a more mainstream flick, Spielberg. Albeit, I must admit it is an instant classic. I am talking about Duel (1971). Originally produced as a TV movie, it became an instant classic due to its suspense and tension throughout the story.

Plot: David Mann is trying to drive his car across California. When he tries to pass a gas tanker, the driver somehow takes offense. At first the unseen driver just annoys David by continually passing him and slowing down. Then he starts playing mind games with David, tempting him to pass the tanker, only to prevent him when he tries. The story is seen from David's point of view, with commentary as he thinks to himself.

Enjoy
