Maximum Overdrive (1986) is one of my all time Stephen King favorites. 80s action / horror at his best, a great soundtrack by AC/DC and for the designers eye some nice typography.

For 3 days in 1986, the earth passed through the tail of a mysterious comet. During that time, machines on earth suddenly come to life and terrorize their human creators. A small group of people in a truck stop, surrounded by "alive" semi-trailers, set out to stop the machines before the machines stop them.
