Death Race 2050

Death Race 2050 is a delirious blend of high-octane action, razor-sharp political satire and full-throttle mayhem. This is the reboot of the original Death Race 2000. The new release straps viewers into the driver's seat of the ultimate auto showdown, a blood-splattered, no-holds-barred, virtual-reality show that gleefully pits hardened road warriors against each other––and their audience. It's the year 2050 and America is controlled by an all-powerful corporate government ruled by The Chairman (McDowell). The masses have been brainwashed with violent virtual-reality entertainment. The event of the year is the Death Race, in which a motley crew of violent drivers compete in a cross-country road race, scoring points for shamelessly running people over and driving each other off the road. The reigning champion and fan favorite, Frankenstein (Bennett), who's half-man and half-machine, wants to take the crown, but his rebel spy co-pilot threatens his legacy. (Gary Reber)
