Grab the wheel as you steer your way into the future of action with Speed Racer: The Next Generation - The Beginning! The movie sets up the new TV series Speed Racer: The Next Generation. When Speed, a hotshot orphan, enters the elite Racing Academy, he gears up for a series of futuristic adventures that unite the classic fun of the original Speed Racer and the out-of-this-world excitement of virtual racing. Pulse-pounding trouble follows at every turn as Speed uncovers the secrets of his identity. Not only is the legendary Speed Racer his father, but also his top competition, the mysterious racer X, is his brother! Speed also finds the top secret plans for his superslick racing car the Mach 6, but the evil millionaire, Zile Zazic, will do everything in his power to stop Speed from crossing the finish line and revealing that the Mach 6 burns rubber with a gasless engine. With the help of his crew, Lucy, Conor, and Chim Chim the Robot, Speed will have to do more than just outrun Zile - he'll have to master cutting-edge techno-racing in this adrenaline-pumping thrill ride with the new Speed and his crew!
Editor's Note
The SPEED RACER characters originate in a Japanese anime series, titled MACH GOGOGO, from the late 1960s. The central character in SPEED RACER is Speed, a daredevil car driver whose agility behind the wheel is only matched by his impressive martial arts skills. This release is a full-length introduction to a new set of characters in the SPEED RACER universe, and revolves around the son of Speed (who is also named Speed), and his friends at the Racing Academy--Lucy and Conor. Speed has no trouble filling his father's shoes as he takes to the track, but THE BEGINNING also finds him trying to solve the puzzling disappearance of his father's car.
