7 sourcesSynopsis
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.
Critics consensus
Death Race 2000 is an unabashedly cheap, deliriously fun B-movie that revels in its first-rate racing sequences, vividly grotesque characters, and comic-strip absurdity.
