Second viewing (first one: between 1983 and 1986).
A man in a car heading for a business appointment is chased by a tanker truck (IMDb calls it a "tractor-trailer", I did not know the word).
Well-made one-idea movie, thrilling and repetitive in roughly the same proportions. The allegorical component is pretty obvious, he is a henpecked husband, incapable of asserting himself, and a coward when his wife was harassed by another man, now all his domestic troubles are, so to speak, amplified into monstrous dimensions. The problem with allegory is that they seldom hold intact when probed for consistency, in this case he wins by a blend of cunning and luck, I do not think this would work with his other problems.
