If there’s one thing that keeps Stephen King fans coming back again and again, it’s that the man knows how to have fun. Mixed into his catalog of highbrow horror and tender dramas are pulpy, over-the-top beach reads full of juicy characters and bloody mayhem. That’s where MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE fits in. Written and directed by King himself, the film centers around the Dixie Boy, a mom 'n' pop truck stop under siege after a bizarro cosmic incident infects every Earthly machine from lawnmowers to giant 18-wheelers with a thirst for murder. High-octane havoc ensues. With a great cast led by Emilio Estevez, a slammin’ soundtrack by none other than AC/DC, and loads of gore and goofball humor, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is the ultimate in Stephen King excess.
