    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Duel

    There's lots of theories about this film - did the lorry represent the devil? Perhaps it didn't really exist and was just a symbol of all his fears chasing him (his disintegrating marriage - work problems). Or perhaps it was man's first encounter with an autonomous truck that had been programmed by some errant NASA / MIT employee.
    It's great film - I first saw it around 1973 as part of a double bill (the other film was Pete 'n' Tilly - perhaps a strange choice but then again like Pete 'n' Tilly Duel could be seen as another dysfunctional relationship).
    Made before Steven became the king of sugar.

      Which just happened to have a built in android arm and hand to wave at drivers to let them know to pass his slow moving rig?

        The actual driver could have been in David Mann's imagination and he tried to 'normalize' the situtaion.
