Writer-director Stephen King in his debut at the helm with Maximum Overdrive, a tale about a radiation storm that somehow animates machines across the world, causing them to turn on their makers. The film focuses on a group of survivors held captive at the Dixie Boy Diner by a group of bad-tempered semis. Led by Emilio Estevez, the diner-goers do their best to survive in the man vs. machine stand-off.
