Death Race

Get ready for a killer ride

Set in 2012, after the prisons in the US have all been privatised. To survive financially, they broadcast live entertainment on the Internet. One prison has car races, where you walk free after five wins. Losers lose by getting killed in the race. The prison boss frames a top driver and he ends up in her prison, where she persuades him to take part in just one race for his freedom, or spend the rest of his life in jail. This sets the scene for a non-stop high action race... to the death.
