"A family trip. A single mistake. A man who won’t forget."
What begins as a simple family drive turns into a white-knuckle descent into road rage madness in Tailgate—a Dutch psychological thriller that turns the open highway into a death trap. Stripped of frills and soaked in tension, the film grips your nerves like a clenched steering wheel and never lets go.
Hans, an arrogant and impatient father, is driving his wife and two daughters to visit his mother. When he tailgates a slow-moving van and responds with a rude gesture, he assumes the moment is over. But the other driver—the man in the white van—isn’t finished. He’s methodical, relentless, and disturbingly polite. And he’s not just angry. He’s hunting.
As Hans barrels down the road, attempting to shake the mysterious van, the trip devolves into a high-speed nightmare. No matter where they turn—backroads, gas stations, city streets—the van is always there. Waiting. Watching. Smiling. And with every mile, the predator gets closer… and more violent.
Tense, brutal, and unnervingly plausible, Tailgate is not about a chase—it’s about ego, pride, and the horrifying price of a split-second decision on the road.
