A group of people try to survive when machines start to come alive and become homicidal.
When Earth passes through the tail of Rea-M rogue comet, the machines come to life and start to kill mankind. A group of survivors is under siege from fierce trucks at the Dixie Boy truck stop gas station and they have to fight to survive.
Excellent Thriller!! <br/><br/>Although there is some shaky, hesitant and stiff acting in this production, it still stands as one of the best adaptations of Stephen King&#39;s literary works.<br/><br/>While it does stray a bit from the original work, it has earned its place in the genre of horror as a &quot;Classic.&quot; To the accompanying heavy metal of AC/DC blasting in the background, killer trucks and other machines take over a small town truck stop, terrorizing those within, and killing any/every one without.<br/><br/>While some of the performances were amateurish, this movie SOARS above the &quot;recent&quot; remake of the same original work, entitled, &quot;Trucks.&quot; Written, rewritten and directed by King, this movie is a surprisingly wonderful adaptation of his work. To date, his adaptations have been rather puerile and mellow compared to his original literary publications. This will be a very pleasant surprise following the absolutely horrid Made For TV Version of &quot;The Shining,&quot; (1997).<br/><br/>While Emilio Estevez is not among my favorite top 500 actors, he carries this film rather well, but it&#39;s Yeardley Smith who makes the movie. Her wonderfully comedic little voice screaming out, &quot;Curtis!! Are you DAY-YED??!!&quot; She is what makes Maximum Overdrive fun. AC/DC and killer trucks take a back seat to her performance. Loved it. Own it.<br/><br/>It gets a solid 8/10 on the &quot;B&quot; scale.<br/><br/>That&#39;s a 6.6/10 on the &quot;A&quot; scale, from…<br/><br/>the Fiend :.
Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington and Yeardley Smith star in Stephen King&#39;s 1986 sci-fi/horror film based on his short story, &quot;Trucks.&quot; This takes place in Wilmington, North Carolina where a group of people try to survive against machines that become homicidal. The cause is a comet, Rhea-M that passes Earth in the course of 8 days. Estevez (The Breakfast Club) plays Bill, a short order cook who is out on parole from prison, Hingle (Batman) plays his boss, Bubba, Harrington (The Devil&#39;s Advocate) plays Brett, a hitchhiker who gets close with Bill, Smith (The Simpsons) plays newlywed, Connie and King also makes a cameo. This isn&#39;t bad and features music from legendary rock group, AC/DC.
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE doesn't work on any level. As a comedy it's obvious and asinine, as a horror film it's simply not scary, and as an action film it's a bore.
While no copies have popped up anywhere, there is supposedly an uncut VHS tape that was released when the film came to VHS. This alleged tape not only has the infamous exploding head steamroller scene, but also an additional 4 minutes of footage.
