Description
The most dangerous game ever devised, to pit man against man, flesh against steel - the figure-8 race! Rick Bowman is a street punk who winds up in jail after a street race goes wrong. Bailed out by race promoter Grant Willard, Bowman is put on the deadly track where he comes up against maniacal winner Hawk Sidney. Filmed on a real figure-8 track, Jack Hill and his crew were able to capture gripping real-life car wreck scenes lending the film a brilliant sense of realism.
