The movie "Cujo" is based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. The story revolves around a St. Bernard dog living with his owners, the Trenton family, in a small town in Maine. When the dog gets bitten by a bat infected with the rabies virus, he becomes aggressive and turns into a violent monster, attacking anyone who comes near him.
The movie's protagonist is a woman named Donna Trenton, who is stuck in a broken-down car with her young son, Tad, while Cujo is on the loose. As the movie progresses, the situation becomes increasingly tense as Donna and Tad are forced to fight for their survival against the rabid dog.
Meanwhile, Donna's husband, Vic, is away on a business trip, and the situation in the town escalates as more people become exposed to the rabies virus, fearing a possible outbreak. The movie shows the emotional turmoil of Donna as she struggles to keep her son safe while dealing with her own personal problems.
The role of Cujo, the St. Bernard, was played by several dogs, but mostly by an animal named "Moose," who became famous for his performance in the movie. Cujo remains one of the most iconic horror movies of the 1980s, known for its portrayal of a bloodthirsty animal and its realistic depiction of the human characters involved in the crisis.
