When a mysterious comet passes close to Earth, machines everywhere suddenly come to life and become homicidal. Soon, video games, cash machines, drawbridges, and steamrollers all go on a psychotic killing spree of global rebellion. But when the folks at the Dixie Boy Truck Stop are held hostage by a mob of 18-wheelers, human vengeance goes into overdrive. Who made whom? And who will survive the final showdown of man vs. bloodthirsty machine? Emilio Estevez stars in this outrageous, twisted metal epic that marked the directing debut of horror master Stephen King, and features a head banging score of classic hits and original music by AC/DC.

"Maximum Overdrive" is minimum movie-making by no less a celebrity than best-selling horror writer Stephen King, here making his less than auspicious directorial debut.

Someone once said to me: “Stephen King didn’t direct this movie. Cocaine directed this movie.” And it certainly shows.

Stephen King has admitted himself that he was coked out of his mind during the making of this. Well... duh!
