Duel DVD: Review By fredtopel

A highly effective TV movie made by Steven Spielberg, this simple concept of a truck versus a man in a car plays out to the fullest effect. Far better than the recent truck driver movie Breakdown.

With two spots on Spielberg and another on screenwriter Richard Matheson, this DVD gives you firsthand accounts of the film's development. Spielberg is a great speaker and basically tells you a story about the story. Matheson is more matter of fact but still has great insights to share.

The film is a must see both as a piece of entertainment and a piece of history in the emergence of Steven Spielberg as a filmmaker, and these modest but effective extras make this the perfect little collection.
