From "Purple Rain" director Albert Magnoli comes this made-for-TV drama set in the high-octane world of drag racing. Nicky Donatello (Richard Grieco) is one of the best street-racers in Brooklyn. His skills behind the wheel have earned him money and fame. And when his brother (Jay Acovone) gets in trouble with a Mafia kingpin, it's up to Nicky to save him the only way he know how: by revving his engine, pounding the gas and bolting across the blacktop as fast as he can.

Audience Member Credibility-lacking saga has gangster who controls the 'action' on the local street racing circuit waging war with an independent-minded star local driver and his family. Early made for tv starring role for Richard Grieco. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
