The Storyline
what do you get when the earth passes through the tail path of a mysterious comet.How about machines coming to live such as big rigs,military vehicles and much more.Well for 3 days in 1986 that just happins in the town of Wilmington,North Carolina.When the trucks begin demanding more than blood(they order the humans to pump diese), the Dixie Boy survivors realize they will become enslaved by their own machines, and they must escape to Haven Island just off the coast of North Carolina, on which no vehicles or machines were permitted.Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez) rallies the survivors; they use a cache of guns found hidden under the diner. The trucks fight back themselves, at one point human fatalities result from an M274"Mule" firing its mounted M60 machine gun into the building.A large array of various vehicles and electronic devices are featured in the film as antagonist characters, brought to life from the comet passing by Earth. A large number of semi-trailer trucks appear as a gang who invade the truck stop. They are led by a "Happy Toyz Co." White-Werstern star 4800" truck which has the face of the Green Goblin from the Spider-Man franchise mounted on its front grill. Most of these trucks are destroyed by the end of the film.
After Thoughts:This was my fav movie growing up i had a thing for semi trucks just the way they looked and everything they was able to do.this was full of great actors and great effects so everyone should check out this movie.
The sound track is by no other group the AC-DC thay make the movie even better
