Terminal Island: The very near future. The world's hunger for extreme
sports and reality competitions has grown into reality TV bloodlust.
Now, the most extreme racing competition has emerged and its
contestants are murderous prisoners. Tricked-out cars, caged thugs and
smoking-hot navigators combine to create a juggernaut series with
bigger ratings than the Super Bowl. The rules of the Death Race are
simple: Win five events, and you're set free. Lose and you're road kill
splashed across the Internet. Three-time speedway champion Jensen Ames
is an ex-con framed for a gruesome murder. Forced to don the mask of
the mythical driver Frankenstein, a Death Race crowd favorite who seems
impossible to kill, Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island's
ruthless Warden Hennessey: Suit up and drive or never see his little
girl again. His face hidden by a hideous mask, one convict will enter
an insane three-day challenge in order to gain freedom. But to claim
the prize, Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious
criminals--including nemesis Machine Gun Joe--in the country's toughest
prison. Trained by his coach to drive a monster Mustang V8 Fastback
outfitted with two mounted mini-guns, flamethrowers and napalm, an
innocent man will destroy everything in his path to win the most
twisted spectator sport on Earth.
