“Need for Speed” is based on a storyline of a racecar driver that “soups” up cars in his garage to make them fly around the track. During a race, his best friend is murdered and the racecar driver is framed and sent to prison. When he gets out he seeks his revenge on the person(s) responsible for his time spent in prison for a crime he did not commit.
