Death Race 2050

Death Race 2050 (2017) is an American sci-fi action comedy directed by G.J. Echternkamp, available to watch online on iFILM. The year is 2050, the planet is dangerously overcrowded, and the government's solution is a televised cross-country race where competitors score points for mowing down pedestrians — ten for an adult, twenty for a child, fifty for a senior citizen.

Malcolm McDowell plays the president, more invested in the ratings than the body count. Manu Bennett leads the pack of drivers, competing against an AI-piloted car, a religious zealot, and a feminist activist. The route runs from New York to Los Angeles. Nobody is playing it safe. Runtime: 93 minutes.

This is a direct spiritual sequel to the 1975 cult film Death Race 2000, and it wears that lineage openly — the satire is loud, the violence is cartoonish, and the target is media-driven political spectacle. Exactly as subtle as it needs to be. Stream Death Race 2050 (2017) online on iFILM.
