在这部火魔战车动作/恐怖/科幻片中,电影讲述人类与机器对抗的故事，被人类奴役了100多年的机器开始了对人类的追杀。斯蒂芬·金唯一导演过的电影作品，他不仅是导演，还在片头出镜。他邀请了摇滚乐队ACDC为影片配乐，而ACDC十分大方，直接写了三首新歌。其中的WHO MADE WHO真是烘托本片气氛的完美之作。
When Earth passes through the tail of Rea-M rogue comet, the machines come to life and threaten and kill the mankind. A group of survivors is under siege of fierce trucks in the Dixie Boy truck stop in a gas station and they have to fight to survive.
