In the year 2000 - against the backdrop of social turmoil, political unrest, and rampant anarchy - a now-totalitarian United Provinces of America supports a brutal annual event to pacify the masses: the infamous Annual Transcontinental Road Race. Scoring points simply by running over unsuspecting pedestrians, the national champion driver Frankenstein has to race against fast contestants such as the beautiful cowgirl killer Calamity Jane; the neo-Nazi Matilda the Hun; the Roman gladiator Nero the Hero, and, first and foremost, the Chicago thug and ambitious challenger Machine Gun Joe. Who will score the most points in the violent Death Race 2000?
