An original French Grande movie poster from the 1975 release of “Death Race 2000” or to give it its correct French title “La Course à la Mort de L'an 2000”

An American science fiction action film produced by Roger Corman, directed by Paul Bartel, and starring David Carradine. The film takes place in a dystopian American society in 2000, where the murderous Transcontinental Road Race has become a form of national entertainment.

After the "World Crash of '79", massive civil unrest and economic ruin occurs. The United States government is restructured into a totalitarian regime under martial law. To pacify the population, the government has created the Transcontinental Road Race, where a group of drivers race across the country in their high-powered cars and which is infamous for violence, gore, and innocent pedestrians being struck and killed for bonus points.

In 2000, the five drivers in the 20th annual race include ... Frankenstein, the mysterious black-garbed champion; Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, a Chicago tough guy gangster; Calamity Jane, a cowgirl; Matilda the Hun, a Neo-Nazi; and Nero the Hero, a Roman gladiator. 

"In the year 2000 hit and run driving is no longer a felony. It's the national sport!"
