Duel (Collector's Edition)
Before spinning cinematic gold from sharks, dinosaurs and homesick aliens, a young Steven Spielberg directed this high-velocity thriller about an innocent motorist terrorized by an evil truck. Spielberg's first full-length movie, "Duel" helped jumpstart the director's big-screen career, with a gripping, action-packed story hailed by critics as a film that "...belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers" (Daily Variety). Dennis Weaver stars as the traveling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out for destruction. Praised for its deft use of relentlessly mounting psychological tension, "Duel" features one of the most uniquely terrifying "characters" in movie history: a massive, roaring 40-ton truck with more sheer menace than most flesh-and-blood villains. But Steven Spielberg was, literally, just getting started. A few years later, the action of Spielberg's blockbuster "Jaws" would echo "Duel's" tale of a lone hero in a heart-stopping fight to the finish against a monstrous, inhuman foe. more

- Great Thriller!
If you haven't had a chance to watch this movie, take my advice and get it. It's well worth the price. It put Spielberg on the map, and you'll know why as soon as you finish the movie. Scary road rage before there was a term for it!

- Excellent
The Duel is one of my favorite all-time movies. I original saw it on TV many years ago and remember being absolutely riveted to the screen. I now have it on DVD and it has not lost its power. It is a must see movie.

- I generally despise Spielberg's pap, but this one's a gem!
"Duel" is one of those ABC Movie of the Week standards from the 1970's (along with "Killdozer") that had a tremendous impact on us as impressionable kids. A true gem of a film, intense from start to finish yet suitable for family...

- utter drivel
I saw this movie on TV a few months ago at my friend's house. It was completely idiotic, consisting primarily Dennis Weaver talking to himself *in his head* for practically the whole movie. To give you an idea of the audience this...
