Plot
Death Race is set in a futuristic America where prison inmates are forced to compete against each other in a brutal, gladiator-style car race to the death that is publicly broadcast. A prisoner (Jason Statham) with only weeks to go on his sentence is coerced into the race by the prison warden, and quickly becomes a fan favorite, earning the nickname Frankenstein.Quotes
"It's not a straight remake at all. The first movie was an across-America race. This will be an around-the-world race. And it's set further in the future, so the cars are even more futuristic. So you've got cars with rockets, machine guns, force fields; cars that can split apart and re-form, a bit like Transformers. Cars that become invisible." -Director Paul W.S. Anderson-
