Death Race

The film is set in the not-too-distant future, when under the influence of the economic crisis, the Government takes all of the prisons of the country against the regime. In one prison, the Chief jailer Hennessy, organizes competitions among prisoners: a race to the death. The competition is pretty popular on television, thanks to the pet to the public Frankenshtejnu.

But in one of the races he perishes, and Hennessy not wanting to lose audience, said that Frankenstein only wounded and he will definitely participate in the next example. Instead, forced to serve former racing driver Ames (Jason Statham), promising to give freedom for winning the tournament. Jason Ames jailed for erroneous sentence, and the only chance to punish this defeat in a deadly race.
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.
