Speed Racer (2008)

Blurb:
The Wachowski brothers, the duo behind The Matrix Trilogy, are back with Speed Racer. Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsh, Into The Wild) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolised-the legendary Rex Racer - whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret... With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams up with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox, Lost) - to try and win the race that had taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

Angst ist ein Fremdwort für den jugendlichen Speed Racer. Der geborene Rennfahrer prescht mit dem eigens von seinem Vater Pops Racer entwickelten Boliden Mach 5 über den Asphalt und bewahrt damit das Vermächtnis seines verstorbenen Bruders Rex. Als er illegalen Siegabsprachen großer Industrieller wie Firmenchef Royalton auf die Spur kommt, verbündet er sich mit seinem Rivalen Racer X.
