In the 2-3 years of racing that Rex did, viewers were divided, calling him both brave and a coward. However, Rex eventually had an altercation with his father Pops Racer (John Goodman), and never returned home. As a young boy, Speed shirked his schoolwork, only dreaming of being able to race one day as well as his older brother, Rex Racer (Scott Porter). Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is an 18-year-old whose life and love has always been racing. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X-to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will make sure the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. When Speed turns down a tempting, lucrative offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret: some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized: the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive.
