The story takes place several years after the events of the first film. Frankenstein (Michael Rooker) is still racing in the underground racing circuit, but this time he's not alone. A new challenger emerges in the form of Kobra (Ving Rhames), a ruthless and cunning driver who will stop at nothing to win.

Death Race 2 takes us back to the beginning, focusing on Carl "Luke" Lucas (played by Luke Goss). After a botched bank robbery, Lucas is sent to Terminal Island, a private prison where the "Death Match" — a televised gladiatorial combat — is losing ratings. To spice things up, the producers invent "Death Race," a brutal, three-stage car race where prisoners fight for their freedom.

Set in a near-future where private corporations run the prison system, the film follows , a getaway driver who ends up on Terminal Island after a bank robbery goes south. There, he’s forced into "Death Match," a brutal televised gladiator fight that soon evolves into the car-based carnage we know as Death Race . 📺 Where to Watch & Stream Legally
