Any Given Sunday meets Fury Road

Ten years ago, underdog Clayton Bruce ended his NASCAR career in spectacular style, becoming an American icon by surviving a horrifying multi-car pile-up on the last lap of the championship race. Despite the legacy of his gruesome injuries he went on to found his own stock car tournament and maneuvered his way to international prominence in the motorsport industry as a billionaire impresario and showman.

Race Day, his most outrageous event to date, is about to launch, but behind the global razzamatazz there are dark motives and lingering enmity. Shades of Richard lll are revealed as Clayton marvels at his ability to dissemble whilst plotting his revenge against the business that first shunned and then mutilated him, and the fans that iconify him as a curiosity and freak.

Race Day is a blockbuster production with potential to attract an international A list cast. It creates an intelligent and saleable balance between the highly original action set pieces and the intrigue of the backroom machinations. The characters are well developed with strong sympathetic protagonists and plausible, charismatic villains.
