Universal Studios UK has detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray edition of Steven Spielberg's Duel (1971), starring Dennis Weaver, Jacqueline Scott, Eddie Firestone, Lou Frizzell, and Gene Dynarski. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 18.
In addition to the standard 4K Blu-ray edition, the studio will issue a Collector's SteelBook Edition, which will be available for purchase on the same date.
Studio description: Steven Spielberg directs this high-velocity thriller about a motorist terrorized by an evil truck. Spielberg's first full-length movie, Duel, helped jumpstart the director's big-screen career, with a gripping, action-packed story hailed by critics as a film that "belongs on the classics shelf reserved for top suspensers" (Daily Variety). Dennis Weaver stars as the traveling salesman waging a desperate battle for survival after he is mysteriously singled out.
Praised for its deft use of relentlessly mounting psychological tension, Duel features one of the most uniquely terrifying "characters" in movie history: a massive, roaring, 40-ton truck with sheer menace. A few years later, the action of Spielberg's blockbuster hit Jaws would echo Duel's tale of a lone hero in a heart-stopping fight to the finish against a monstrous, inhuman foe.
