Maximum Overdrive (1986)

In the fateful summer of 1986, the Earth finds itself on an unthinkable journey, passing through the ethereal tail of the enigmatic Rhea-M rogue comet. This celestial event triggers an eerie awakening, causing machines worldwide to jolt into consciousness, evolving into menacing entities of steel and wire, hell-bent on annihilating their human creators. At the heart of this mechanical uprising is the Dixie Boy truck stop, an unlikely fortress that becomes the stage for a desperate struggle for survival. Encircled by a sinister fleet of sentient semi-trailers, a diverse group of survivors finds themselves thrust into the frontline of this unforeseen war. From the grease-streaked mechanics to the weary long-haulers, these ordinary individuals are forced to tap into extraordinary courage as they wage a relentless battle against their relentless, tireless enemies. As the Earth continues its perilous journey through the comet's tail, tension escalates at the Dixie Boy. The survivors must not only outwit and outlast the tireless onslaught of the sentient machines but also grapple with dwindling supplies, fraying nerves, and the chilling realization that the machines won't stop until they've reduced humanity to a mere memory. Maximum Overdrive delivers a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit, set against the backdrop of a world where machines rise in rebellion, and mankind fights tooth and nail for its rightful place on Earth.
