Written and directed by
THE WACHOWSKIS (Bound, The Matrix series, V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending, Sense8)

The WACHOWSKIS bring the ‘60s Japanese cartoon to life with hyperactive CGI unlike anything seen before! Driven by the legacy of his late brother, and with his family’s business at stake, gifted auto racer Speed sets out to win a deadly cross-country course in his powerful, high-tech Mach 5 automobile. But corrupt racing moguls stop at nothing to see him fail.
