Death Race / Death Race 2

Death Race
In the near-future prisons are run by a corporation which uses inmates to participate in the most popular sport on earth, a brutal adrenalin-fuelled game of carnage in which monster cars are fitted with machine guns, flame-throwers and rocket launchers.

Former racing champion Jensen Arnes is just 2 months away from release when the corporation selects him for the biggest event of the season, the Death Race. Facing a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals on the planet, he must kill or be killed in a brutal 3 day challenge for the ultimate prize: Freedom.


Death Race 2
"Death Race 2 takes place in the very near future, as the United States economy begins to decline and violent crime starts to spiral out of control. To contain the growing criminal population, a vast network of for-profit, private prisons springs up, creating a lawless subculture ruled by gangs, cold-blooded killers and sociopaths. The worst of these prisons is Terminal Island. Convicted cop-killer Carl Lucas arrives on the Island to serve his life sentence just as ruthlessly ambitious television personality September Jones launches the ultimate reality show, Death Race. A brutal prison yard demolition derby that pits prisoners against each other in steel reinforced, heavily armed vehicles, Death Race offers the winner the ultimate prize: freedom if he can survive to enjoy it. When Lucas signs up to be a driver, the stage is set for the birth of a legendary racer.
