Speed Racer (Hirsch) is a natural at driving his family's racing creation, the Mach 5—a car so fast and full of gadgets it is deemed unbeatable. Hoping to redeem the family name after his now-deceased brother Rex Racer (Scott Porter) was caught apparently cheating in the brutal Casa Cristo cross-country race, Speed sets out to dominate the racing circuit with nothing but his talent and his Pop's (Goodman) awesome car creation. When Speed discovers that top corporate interests have been fixing the outcome of major races for profit, he enters the dreaded Casa Cristo race to expose the corruption that has crippled the sport that means the world to him. (Stacey Pendry)
