Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless.
His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized -- the legendary Rex Racer, whose
death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing
business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5.
When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates
the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret -- some of the biggest races
are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If
Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line.
The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his
own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams
with his one-time rival -- the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) -- to win the race that had taken his
brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.
