An ex-con is forced by a prison warden to compete in a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory. Paul W.S. Anderson gained notoriety in his native England when he directed the ultra-violent Shopping (1994). Mortal Kombat (1995), Event Horizon (1997), Soldier (1998), Resident Evil (2002) and Alien Vs. Predator (2004) followed, all of which opened to a mixed critical reception. His next film is Spy Hunter.
