Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive is getting a Blu-ray release from Lionsgate. The 1986 movie marks the best-selling author’s only attempt at directing his own material. With music from iconic rock band AC/DC, this release marks the first time this film will be available as a collectible Steelbook. Along with the movie, the Blu-ray will have some never seen before interviews and commentary from makers and actors.
Maximum Overdrive provides the premise for the world-ending battle of man vs. bloodthirsty machine. The story chronicles three horrifying days when the Earth passes through the tail of a mysterious comet. As the skies glow eerie green, humanity waits to see what the fallout will be. And as in all of King’s stories, what they imagine is nothing like the nightmare they find. Turns out the comet’s magnetic fields cause all the machines on the planet to suddenly come to life and terrorize humans in a horrific killing spree. So, it falls on a handful of people trapped in a desolate truck stop to “defeat the killer machines — or be killed by them!”
