| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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.
