Synopsis

In a small American town, the town residents live peacefully in a small community. But one day, trucks mysteriously start to come to life and develop their own minds, but they end up prompting violence, starting to destroy houses and kill people, and the rest of the townspeople have to figure out a way how to destroy them all before they kill all the residents of the town.
