| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is aggressive,
instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition
is the memory of the brother he idolized - the legendary Rex
Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that
Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing
business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the
designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5.
When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from
Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's
maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret
- some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of
ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits.
If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it
that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only
way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport
he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game.
With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend,
Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival
- the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) - to win the race that
had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country
rally known as The Crucible.
