Newcomer Cole Trickle etabliert sich im Renn-Team von Tim Daland und macht sich Rowdy Burns, die bisherige Nr. 1, zum Feind. Teamchef Hogge baut Cole ein echtes Siegerauto – und hat wenig Freude daran. Die Ergebnisse sind miserabel, der Sponsor will abspringen. Die Rivalität zwischen Burns und Cole mündet in einer Beinah-Katastrophe: Bei einem Rennen schießen sich die Hitzköpfe gegenseitig von der Strecke. Im Krankenhaus lernt Cole die Ärztin Claire, seine künftige Lebensgefährtin kennen. Nach seiner Rekonvaleszenz muß er feststellen, daß Daland einen neuen Fahrer verpflichtet hat. Cole setzt sich gegen den Konkurrenten im eigenen Team durch: Er gewinnt die 500 Meilen von Daytona.

One of the greatest freeze-frame endings of all time.
Where is the Top Gun-esque soundtrack packed with wall-to-wall bangers??? This desperately needs its own "Take My Breath Away" or "Danger Zone." If anything "Danger Zone" makes MORE sense in this movie because cars.
"Control is an illusion you infantile egomaniac. Nobody knows what's gonna happen next; not on a freeway, not in an airplane, not inside our own bodies and certainly not on a racetrack with 40 other infantile egomaniacs."Rides the perfect line of genuinely rousing and sentimental about the sport/craft while still making room for how the industry that has formed around it is poisonous. Tom legit one of the greatest movie stars and Tony was too good for us. Makes you viscerally feel every physical impact on the screen as well as every corny dramatic beat whether you want to or not. Absolutely lost it when Rooker and Cruise started racing in the wheelchairs. Come back to the soundtrack any time I want to get pumped up.
