Death Race
Get ready for a killer ride.
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson
Produced by Impact Pictures, Universal Pictures
A high-octane, dystopian action thriller built around vehicular combat and spectacle, where survival in a brutal televised death game is the only stakes that matter.
Terminal Island, New York: 2020. Overcrowding in the US penal system has reached a breaking point. Prisons have been turned over to a monolithic Weyland Corporation, which sees jails full of thugs as an opportunity for televised sport. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for violence and a spectacular, enclosed arena come together to form the 'Death Race', the biggest, most brutal event.
