Traveling businessman David Mann angers the driver of a rusty tanker while crossing the California desert. A simple trip turns deadly, as Mann struggles to stay on the road while the tanker plays cat and mouse with his life.
Spielberg’s debut as a director. Boy what a debut Its intense from the 10-minute mark, and never let’s go. I know it’s a wild cliché but you sitting on the edge of you seat from then on and to the end. I love how the theme of not being in control is conveyed in a lot of different ways. Like the Radio in the start talking of the man, who doesn’t see himself at a boss in his own. The framing of the shots. I especially love the one in the laundromat. It’s so beautiful. Its great suspenseful movie that’ll make my commute the next week a bit more intense. Part of Junesploitation - Day 11 - Cars!
