Image Not Responsive

I've tried just about everything and it's driving me nuts. How can I make the "slide-img" image responsive. This is what I have and the website is 132media.com. When I open it on my phone's browser the image is showing way too big. I just realized that the image is doing exactly what I want it to do, but the rest of the site is not filling the screen. 

slide {
    background: black;
    position: relative;
    max-width: 100%;
    z-index: -1;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

.slide-img {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 100%;
}

RIght on the money. Both answers. I was doing one, but not with the other. I don't know how I missed the html and body, but I did :(. It's always something so simple ey? Thanks Aaron.

No Problem Paul,

That would have become an even bigger problem once the JS was introduced to control the slider behavior. For more info on how to build a full page responsive slider I recommend the new JavaScript and jQuery book by Jon Ducket.
