Duel 4K 1971

"Duel" (1971), directed by Steven Spielberg, presents a gripping thriller where the driver of an ordinary car encounters a mysterious truck that turns the daily commute into a nightmare.

Dennis Weaver plays the role of David Mann, whose trip through the desert roads of Southern California turns into a deadly game of survival. For no discernible reason, an anonymous truck begins stalking Mann, showing its aggression and intent to destroy him.

The screenplay, written by Richard Matheson, creates an atmosphere of tension and fear. The truck driver's lack of apparent motivation gives the movie its mystery, and the series of car chases and collisions keep the viewer in a state of constant tension.

Spielberg, making his directorial debut, masterfully utilizes limited means to create an intense and thrilling experience. "Duel" has become an iconic work, embodying the idea of how ordinary situations can turn into a nightmare, with the mystical truck becoming a symbol of fear, the unknown and the struggle for survival.
