The Tourist viewers are expressing their delight at seeing Jamie Dornan back on their TV screens.
The opening scene of The Tourist sees Dornan’s character chased by a huge lorry for seemingly no rhyme or reason, which is the exact plot of Spielberg’s 1971 TV movie starring Dennis Weaver.
“Why is opening of The Tourist a rip off of 70’s film Duel?” one viewer asked, with another adding: Well 10 minutes into The Tourist on #BBCOne & it’s an absolute dead pinch of the Steven Spielberg film Duel with Dennis Weaver!”
Following The Tourist’s broadcast, though, many couldn’t help but draw comparisons to Steven Spielberg’s Duel, which was written by Richard Matheson.
