IMDb 6.4 Metacritic 43 RT 41%

If you're craving pure, unfiltered action spectacle with a dystopian kick and don't need deep storytelling, Death Race delivers the goods—Jason Statham behind the wheel in a high-octane prison gladiator flick is exactly what it promises. Skip it only if you need substance with your explosions; otherwise, buckle up.

Plot

Terminal Island, New York: 2020. Overcrowding in the US penal system has reached a breaking point. Prisons have been turned over to a monolithic Weyland Corporation, which sees jails full of thugs as an opportunity for televised sport. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for violence and a spectacular, enclosed arena come together to form the 'Death Race', the biggest, most brutal event.

Director: Paul W. S. Anderson

Cast: Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Ian McShane, Tyrese Gibson, Natalie Martinez
