When a comet passes close to the earth, machines all over the world come alive and go on homicidal rampages. A group of people at a desolate truck stop are held hostage by a gang of murderous 18-wheelers. The frightened people set out to defeat the killer machines…Or be killed by them.
Stephen King trades psychological dread for a neon-soaked fever dream where gas pumps and lawnmowers turn murderous. This campy spectacle finds pure joy in the absurdity of sentient, high-speed heavy machinery hunting terrified survivors.
