ABOUT THE FILM
Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is aggressive, instinctive and,
most of all, fearless. 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. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his
father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5. When
Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only
infuriates the company’s maniacal owner (Roger Allam) 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. If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it
that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his
family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the
support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams
with his one-time rival—the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)—to win the race that had
taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

ABOUT THE FILM
Rated PG-13 by the MPAA
OPENS ON FRIDAY, APRIL 25
Set against the world of high stakes poker, DEAL follows the story of Alex Stillman
(Bret Harrison), a cocky, hotshot, card-playing senior at Yale University. Alex
dreams of becoming a professional Texas Hold’em poker player but does not yet have
the skill to master the table. Fortunately for him, a chance encounter introduces
Alex to retired poker legend, Tommy Vinson (Burt Reynolds). Tommy was at the top
of his game twenty years ago but gave it all up in order to save his family.
Upon meeting Alex, Tommy realizes he can regain his own self-confidence, pride and
a poker championship title by turning Alex into his protégé. The two pair up and
master every tournament they enter. The winning streak and friendship between the
two is eventually thwarted by the interference of a Las Vegas call girl, Michelle
(Shannon Elizabeth). The pair eventually part ways and separately prepare for the
World Poker Tour. Only one will take home the championship title.
Directed by: Gil Cates, Jr.
