Josh L @Darkjinrou Sep 17, 2026 It's not a great movie, sure, but it's not a bad movie either. Sadly sometimes critics can be overly critical, but it is what it is. If you liked the short story, this movie is a decent adaptation of that, regardless of how it was released. Maximum overdrive did a bit worse than this one, but I feel this is the better of the two movies, and not because Stephen King directed Maximum Overdirve. I just feel "Trucks" capture the essence of what King's short story was about better than Maximum Overdrive. See more Cameron H. @camthemovieman Jun 4, 2026 A town is held hostage by evil sentient trucks who have declared war on humanity! This 1997 TV movie, “Trucks,” is based on the short story by Stephen King and delivers exactly what you’d expect: cheesy acting, exploding trucks, and one of the funniest movie deaths I’ve ever seen! See more Chet W. @RT43675629 Oct 31, 2025 Yes it’s just like the movie Maximum Overdrive but for a B rated movie it was pretty good , it’s a good movie to watch on a Saturday afternoon See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 13, 2023 As dumb as the original. See more Ken B @MrBelmont Feb 12, 2023 LMFAO! I mean, I'm sure the viewing audience was never truly meant to take this "entertaining " story too seriously! A potentially doable plot here, just horribly written as a film adaptation with less than convincing actors, with the exception of Brenda Bakke, whose acting capabilities really couldn't be appreciated here for a "vehicle " of this calibre!
