Death Race is set in the year 2012 where the general population who are currently living in a recession are entertained in the double figure millions by a TV phenomenon. That TV phenomenon is Death Race and it's a gladiatorial style race/battle in cars and trucks, with the main aim to get through 3 races alive and in one piece. All the drivers are prisoners from serious crimes and if a driver wins five races in a row then they earn their freedom
If you remember the original B movie from 1975 then you might have an idea what Death Race is about
