Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
The 80s movie Maximum Overdrive was ok. What interested me about was that the movies used AC/DC songs. Then when I got older and watched the movie again I cared less about the music because I realized that I don’t like Brian Johnson’s voice compared to Bon Scott’s but I enjoyed the movie.
