Plot
The Banzai Runners are a group of wealthy motorists who drive exotic cars at extreme speeds late at night on the public highways. Most of them do it for the excitement, but one is a ruthless drug dealer. During one of their rides, a policeman is killed. With no witnesses, it's up to the cop's brother to see justice is done. He goes undercover and joins the Runners, driving a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera.
