Jason Statham is back with yet another "action pack" kind of movie again. Just in case you have forgotten who he is, check out the following show Transporter, The Bank Job and War.

The story started in the future (2012) whereby the America's economy could no longer support the prison system. Thus, the prison has to find it's own way in sustaining it's own operation and at the same time keeping those convicts away from the public.

From there, it has modernized the Roman empire's "Gladiator" style of killing each other into various form to entertain the public earning money to sustain it's operation. However, after a while, the audience get bored and demand more "exciting" style that gave birth to Death Race.

Jason was sentence to jail for something (killing his wife) he never commit. Been an ex-racer, he was immediately drafted by the prison system in participating the death race with each racer given the promise of freedom with 5 wins.

So who killed his wife ? What do they want from Jason ? How did Jason fool the system ? Watch on and get entertain by the killings and gore.................................
