Stephen King has written over 60 novels and countless short stories, but he's only directed one movie: "Maximum Overdrive," which was released in theaters in 1986. Starring Emilio Estevez as cook/ex-convict Bill Robinson, the film asks the question we've all wondered at some point: "What if machines came to life and started killing people?" One character gets killed by a vending machine shooting a soda can at him, while a child gets flattened by a sentient steamroller. It's all reminiscent of that one scene in the 2007 "Transformers" movie where the Allspark cube brings the surrounding machine to life, except in "Maximum Overdrive," that 20-second sequence is the whole film.
