TRUCKS

TRUCKS-
Considering writer Stephen King cranks out a new novel every few weeks or so, the idea of driverless semi-trucks going around killing folks is bound to pop up. After all he was so sucessful with "Christine" the killer car 20 years before this made-for-tv low budget film.
Basically a down and out man, his girlfriend and two teenage kids and a couple of rednecks and a gun loving ex military man are held hostage by these mysterious trucks at a truck stop.
The killer trucks threatens to run them over if the man doesn't feed them with gasoline. While the bunch try to figure how to escape and destroy these 18 wheeled monsters, they solve emotional issues and a family crisis.
The title should be called "What the Truck?!", another bizzare made-for-TV movie about killer truck is "Duel" with Dennis Weaver, I think it was one of Stephen Speilberg's earlier projects. And another made-for-TV truck movie turned TV series is "BJ and the Bear", featuring lots of "Hooters bar"-quality blondes as truck drivers.
