Triple bill of films starring Jason Statham. 'Death Race' (2008) is a sci-fi action adventure based on Paul Bartel's 1975 film 'Death Race 2000'. Statham stars as former racing driver Jensen Ames, who is sent to Terminal Island prison after being framed for the murder of his wife. There, he is forced by the sadistic Warden Hennessey (Joan Allen) to compete in a lethal car race where the contestants must win or die.
