Jason
Statham leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial
wasteland of tomorrow, with the world's most brutal sporting event as
its
backdrop. A penitentiary full of felons has inspired the jailers to
create a
grisly pastime ripe for lucrative kickbacks. Now, adrenalized inmates,
a global
audience hungry for televised violence and a spectacular arena come
together to
form the 'Death Race.'
Three-time
speedway champion Jensen Ames (Statham) is an expert at survival in the
harsh
landscape that has become our country. Just as he thinks he has turned
his life
around, the ex-con is framed for a gruesome murder he didn't commit.
Forced to
don the mask of the mythical driver Frankenstein--a crowd favorite who
seems
impossible to kill--Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island's
warden (Joan Allen): suit up
or rot away in
a cell.
His
face hidden by a metallic mask, one convict will be put through an
insane
three-day challenge. Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious
criminals
in the country's toughest prison to claim the prize of freedom. Driving
a
monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade
launchers,
one desperate man will destroy anything in his path to win the most
twisted
spectator sport on Earth. |
