Death Race
Directed by Paul W.S Anderson
2008

Death Race (a remake of the 1975 cult classic Death Race 2000) sees Jason Statham taking part in a violent prison motorsport tournament in an attempt to win his freedom.

That's pretty much the whole screenplay in a nutshell. Death Race is very clearly not dependant on it's story but is instead all about action which is fine because action is just about the only thing the film does correctly.
