French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux writes and directs this surrealist B-movie comedy horror following the outrageous antics of a killer tyre. Robert, a tyre that has been jettisoned in the middle of the California desert, suddenly comes to life and takes to the road, exploding small animals and people's heads as he sets out on a murderous rampage. Meanwhile, a cinematic audience follows his escapades from a safe distance through binoculars.
