Speed Racer is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win The Crucible, a cross-country car-racing rally that claimed the life of his older brother, Rex Racer. Speed is loyal to the family business, run by his parents Pops and Mom. Pops designed Speed's car, the Mach 5. The owner of Royalton Industries makes Speed a lucrative offer; Speed rejects it, angering the owner. Speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit. With the offer to Speed denied, Royalton wants to ensure that Speed will not win races. Speed finds support from his parents and his girlfriend Trixie and enters The Crucible in a partnership with his one-time rival, Racer X, seeking to rescue his family's business and the racing sport itself.

Matthew Fox Shares His Vantage Point on Family

In the new thriller Vantage Point, Matthew Fox stars as a Secret Service agent assigned to protect the POTUS at all costs. But outside the studio, the Lost star admits that's a mission impossible (or rather improbable). "I would take a bullet for my family, but not for [anyone else]," Fox said at the film's Wednesday-night premiere in New York City, attended by costars Dennis Quaid and Forest Whitaker. Fox is extremely protective of his family, and is currently raising his kids in Hawaii, an ocean away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. "My wife and I think it's important that we keep those two worlds as separate as possible," he explained. Since his acting projects as of late have not been the most kid-friendly, the little Foxes haven't seen their pop in action. But when his other new feature, Speed Racer, comes out in May, it will be a different story. Until then, he says, "I'm just Dad." — Perris RichterMore party talk:• Gossip Girl Star: Blondes Don't Have More ...
