Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for televised violence and a spectacular arena come together to form the Death Race – hitting theaters on August 22nd from Universal Pictures. M&C is giving away Death Race Gift packs to get fans ready for the film.

Jason Statham leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial wasteland of tomorrow, with the world’s most brutal sporting event as its backdrop. A penitentiary full of felons has inspired the jailers to create a grisly pastime ripe for lucrative kickbacks.

Forced to don the mask of the mythical driver Frankenstein—a crowd favorite who seems impossible to kill—Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island’s warden (Joan Allen): suit up or rot away in a cell.

His face hidden by a metallic mask, one convict will be put through an insane three-day challenge. Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals in the country’s toughest prison to claim the prize of freedom. Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, one desperate man will destroy anything in his path to win the most twisted spectator sport on Earth.

Death Race was written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. It was produced by Anderson, Roger Corman, Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner. Along with Statham, the film stars Ian McShane, Tyrese Gibson, Joan Allen, and Natalie Martinez.
