What's The Story
To Speed Racer, nothing says "family values" like barreling down a racetrack at face-flattening speeds. So when mega-mogul Royalton offers the young driver a corporate sponsorship, Speed turns him down. An enraged Royalton tells Speed he'll never win a race again, and he'll send ninjas after Speed to insure it. It's up to Speed, his best girl Trixie in her pink helicopter, and the enigmatic and brilliant Racer X to ensure Speed's victory in "The Crucible": the same perilous cross-country free-for-all that killed his brother. Will Speed follow in his big bro's tire tracks?Three Good Reasons
- 1Larry and Andy Wachowski, the eccentric masterminds behind the Matrix trilogy, have lent their shared genius to a family film that will make kids and adults alike say, "Whoa!"
- 2Computer effects wizards have combined stunning real-world scenery with futuristic designs to create a candy-colored world so bright you'll still see afterimages on the way home.
- 3This is the film that will introduce its audience to "Car Fu," a CGI fantasy combining stunt-driving and martial arts that will keep your adrenaline levels soaring well into the red zone.
