Landspeed is a 2002 American sports drama film directed by Christian McIntire and starring Billy Zane and Ray Wise.
Set in 1972 in the Nevada desert, the film is about six American racing teams that are trying to surpass the 1,000 miles per hour land speed record.[1][2][3] Landspeed stars Billy Zane and Ray Wise as a father-son duo who are attempting the feat, which comes with a $50 million award. Writing in the Billings Gazette, Jay Bobbin said "that effort is fraught with tension and danger, but the men remain determined to reach their goal".[4]
