Posted by admin on Dec 4, 2009 under Arizona Desert Landscaping


From what I can remember it starts of in America, the landscape is like something out of a wile e coyote cartoon, something like Arizona maybe. A man (I think he wears glasses) is driving on an almost deserted road and almost has an accident with a truck. The truck driver starts to follow him and the cat and mouse chase heats up as the movie goes on. There’s a part where the man enters a diner to try to get away but the truck drives into it (I think). I think that the man manages to call the cops but they can’t help (maybe the truck driver killed them).

I know that’s a bit vague but maybe someone remembers, it’s a good movie.

I think you are probably talking about ‘Duel’ directed by Steven Spielberg.

    That’s "Duel" with Dennis Weaver.

    That movie is a minimalist masterpiece. One of my favorites.

    I think i know the movie, but can’t think of the name. I can call a friend tomorrow about it. But is the guy on speed the whole time? If its the movie I am thinking of he is. Let me know and I will call my buddy that owns the movie

    Yep. Gotta be "Duel".

    (And they never do show the truck driver’s face, do they???)
