"Duel", directed by Steven Spielberg, is a 1971 American action-thriller that follows the harrowing journey of David Mann, a middle-aged salesman traveling through rural California. As Mann drives his Plymouth Valiant sedan to a business meeting, he becomes the target of a relentless, unseen truck driver piloting a menacing semi-truck. What starts as a simple road encounter quickly escalates into a life-or-death chase through the Mojave Desert. The film's taut direction and suspenseful pacing have earned it acclaim as a cult classic and one of the greatest television films ever made.
