Speed Racer

Speed has no limits. Returning to cinemas almost two decades on from its release, acclaimed writer-director duo The Wachowskis’ (The Matrix) cult sports-comedy SPEED RACER, a hilarious adaptation of the 1966 manga series of the same name by Tatsuo Yoshida. Born into a family business of race cars, Speed Racer is one of the track's hot stars. Sitting at the wheel of his Mach 5, he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries, he uncovers a secret. Powerful moguls fix the races to boost profits. Hoping to beat the executive, Speed enters the same arduous cross-country race that killed his brother. Featuring an all-star cast including, Golden Globe nominee Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon, Ariel Winter (Modern Family) and Golden Globe winner John Goodman, SPEED RACER is a cinematic sugar rush full of adrenaline and heart, sharing the belief that good people and love are the answer to changing the world for the better.
