Death Race 2000 backdrop

Death Race 2000 1975 Directed by Paul Bartel

In the year 2000, hit and run driving is no longer a felony. It's the national sport!

In a boorish future, the government sponsors a popular, but bloody, cross-country race in which points are scored by mowing down pedestrians. Five teams, each comprised of a male and female, compete using cars equipped with deadly weapons. Frankenstein, the mysterious returning champion, has become America's hero, but this time he has a passenger from the underground resistance.
