In a dystopian 21st century, Speed Kayton joins the corporate-owned racing circuit to uncover the truth behind his brother Rex's fiery crash. Aided by fierce liaison Trixie and loyal mechanic Sparky, Speed discovers Rex faked his death and now races as the masked vigilante Racer X, fighting to expose Nucleus Corporation's secret prison city. As chrome-eyed agent Bob Killinger hunts them both, Speed must finish the Tokyo-to-Taipei sprint to help his brother bring down the corporation—while their grieving father Pops learns to let his surviving son race.
