Plot summary

By 2033, after a civil war and martial law, the United States keeps the Red Zone, an enormous prison camp holding more than a million violent felons. A criminal called the Reaper is extracting sarin to spill into the national water supply, and a prisoner named FX films him discussing the plan. Governor Reagan Black learns of it and stages a death race inside the prison system, televised and hosted by Harvey Winkler and Jennifer Ramirez. Black assembles four teams: the Severed Head Gang, Homeland Security, Vaginamyte, and Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. Black awards points for killing loose prisoners and promises freedom to whichever team brings back the Reaper, and chips implanted in the racers kill anyone who breaks the rules.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Death Racers (2008)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Violent J called Death Racers "a terribly shitty movie" but said he does not regret making it, because it pushed him to carry on with Big Money Rustlas, feeling Psychopathic Records could make a better film.
  • Insane Clown Posse's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope took their roles because the director was a personal friend and they wanted to warm up their acting for Big Money Rustlas; their label Psychopathic Records had no involvement in the film.
