With the help of the engineers on his team, Sanger has a rocket-propelled vehicle at his disposal, and all he needs is an opportunity to crank it up and blast himself free from the pack.

      Audience Member A huge oil conglomerate sets an open challenge to any team that can set a new 1000 mph land speed record. The front runners: a large aeronautics corporation with a high-tech rocket car and a grass roots team funded only by bravado and bootstrap engineering. Daily speed trials pit men against men, machine against machine as the race to be the fastest heats up! stars Billy Zane, Pam Gidley, William Zabka, Ray Wise, Pamela Gidley, Greg Travis, Marc McClure, G.W. Stevens and Simon Rhee. directed by Christian McIntire. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty good movie but doesnt have a lot of rewatch value Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member a good rocket movie very cool Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I'll have to say that this film, pretty much destroyed Zane's notoriety as a legitimate actor, this film was horrible to begin with. This demonstrated that this was riffing off the Fast and the Furious franchise, only the difference between this film , is that they attempt to touch into the science fiction genre, which was very pathetic on their part. The editing was too rigid, and the plot of the story meandered on too many times. In the end, this film was a career-ender for Billy Zane, as far as to return to the silver screen anytime soon. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Ten minutes into the movie you know how it's going to go and how it's going to end. A completely generic storyline, that manages to be annoyingly predictable even when it's supposed to be slightly original (the scooter scene). Generic characters with generic fates. Some bad editing. Effort was put into this, but the script just couldn't be saved. Amusing at moments. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Is it possible to like a movie just for one line? Michael (Billy Zane): First of all, we're not a club; we're a gang. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
