Speed Racer [Blu-ray]

£10.99 (new & sealed)

The Wachowskis write and direct this adaptation of the cult 1960s anime series. Born into a family of racing fanatics, 18-year-old Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is taking the racing world by storm. Racing his father's designed Mach 5, a gadget-laden speed machine, his combination of fearless talent and sheer aggression has led him to be the talk of the racing fraternity.

Fiercely loyal to his family, Speed Racer's main aim is to emulate his late brother Rex (Scott Porter)'s achievements by winning the cross-country rally known as The Crucible in which his brother died. But when he turns down a lucrative offer to drive for rival Royalton Industries, he soon discovers that they have been fixing the outcome of all the major races in the country. Now, with Royalton out to stop him at all costs, Speed Racer realises he must win every race, including The Crucible, if he is to defeat Royalton and save the family business.
