Absolutely great film


A psychological thriller based around a psychopathic truck driver torturing an innocent guy on a cross-state commute who himself has his own issues...I mean the premise sounds strange at first but it's so beautifully crafted.

One of my personal overall favourites of all time. I especially love the camera work and choice of angles.

Agreed. I found it hard to believe it was originally a made-for-TV movie.

I remember when my sister first told me about this back in the late 1980s and I just thought it sounded boring. But then she put the video on and I was so pleased to be wrong!!! It's a 1970s classic for me and I still enjoy it all these years later.
