Years ago, motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) sold his soul to save the life of a loved one. Now, he transforms into a fiery, avenging agent of justice at night wherever evil roams. As the only one who can walk in both worlds, Johnny is charged by Mephistopheles (Donal Logue) himself to destroy Blackheart (Wes Bentley), a demon that wants to overthrow Mephistopheles and create a worse hell than the one that currently exists.

Critics Consensus

Ghost Rider is a sour mix of morose, glum histrionics amidst jokey puns and hammy dialogue.

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

It all seems so wearyingly old fashioned: teenage delinquents on motorbikes, creaky incarnations of Satan, a rock'n'roll take on dangerous cool.

It's ridiculous, likable, with some pleasing reminders of the Blade movies.

This strange amalgamation of Texas Ranger lore, NASCAR bravado, and the-Devil-and-Daniel-Webster trickery keeps the campy fun revving just enough that you can't completely hate it.

Nick Cage having a blast doing a character you can tell he loves. Cgi still holds up very well in 2025 . Pretty good casting, my favorite being Sam Elliott ! Peter Fonda was perfect as well. If you're not a pretentious comic nerd and just enjoyed the comics as a kid, you'll love this campy Hollywood gem of awesomeness. Watch for Rebel Wilson's quick cameo !
