Driving down a deserted Southern California highway at a safe and sane
55 miles per hour, David Mann (Dennis Weaver) steps on the pedal to pass
a large gas trailer truck. Moments later, the truck is back,
dangerously tailgating Mann before abruptly cutting him off.
For the
next 90 minutes, Mann and the never-seen truckdriver are pitted against
one another in a motorized duel to the death. Author Richard Matheson
conceived Duel after a similar experience with a reckless trucker.
The
story first
appeared in Playboy
magazine, then was picked up for adaptation by the producers of The ABC
Movie of the Week. The director chosen to helm Duel on location in
Soledad Canyon was a bright 23-year-old who'd shown promise on such
series as Night Gallery and Columbo: Steven Spielberg. First telecast on
December 18, 1971, Duel was so popular that a somewhat longer version
(with added violence and profanity) was prepared for theatrical release
in 1983. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi http://www.rottentomatoes.com
