“A rivetingly murderous game of cat and mouse that keeps you on the edge of your seat.” –Time Out

In Steven Spielberg’s first full-length movie, Duel, a traveling salesman (Dennis Weaver) is harassed by a menacing 40-ton truck on a remote desert highway. Brilliant in its simplicity, the cult favorite takes road rage to a dangerous level as the traveler and the mysterious truck-driver are pitted against one another in a motorized duel to the death. Gripping with psychological tension, this desperate battle for survival is hailed by critics as a film that “belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers” (Daily Variety).

This film will be preceded with even more vehicular mayhem with our Evel Knievel pre-show featuring the legendary daredevil’s most spectacular stunts.

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s August-long LOST IN THE DESERT series, highlighting films that explore the mysteries and harsh beauty of the world’s most intemperate landscapes.
