Released in 1986 and based on the Stephen King short story Trucks, Maximum Overdrive remains the only movie the horror author ever directed, and for good reason. It was a critical and commercial flop, earning just $7.4 million at the box office against a budget of $9 million. However, while its widely regarded as one of the worst Stephen King adaptations ever made, its also become a guilty pleasure of many over the years, including Giancarlo Esposito, who appeared briefly in the movie early on in his career.
