In between his horror hits "Rabid" and "The Brood", award-winning director David Cronenberg immersed himself in the gritty world of top-fuel dragsters to make what he considers to be one of the most important movies of his career. Genre icons William Smith, John Saxon, and Claudia Jennings star in this surprising story of a corporate-sponsored racing team and the explosive obsessions that speed them through lives of fast cars, fast cash and "FAST COMPANY".
