DUEL (1971)

David Mann (Dennis Weaver), a business commuter from California, on his way to meet a client, is driving his Plymouth Valiant down a deserted, two lane Southern California highway when he passes a large, rusted Peterbilt 281 gas truck. Moments later, the truck driver dangerously tailgates David, passes him, then abruptly cuts him off. David and the never-seen truck driver then engage in a motorized duel... to the death!
