  This film is Stephen King's first directorial effort and concerns a comet that passes near Earth, which turns some machines into killers. Large trucks besiege the Dixie Boy truck stop and threaten the humans–including the manager Hendershot (Pat Hingle), ex-con Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez), newlyweds Curt and Wanda June (John Short and Ellen McElduff), hitchhiker Brett (Laura Harrington), and others–who are inside. King was also the screenwriter, with the story coming from the anthology "Night Shift."
