In the race against death, speed is key.
A 74-year-old billionaire sets out to gain a “pinch of immortality” by attempting to break a world speed record on a hand-built motorcycle - Mister Fahrenheit. Bobby Haas, once the owner of Dr Pepper, 7-Up, and other soda giants, abandons his business career in search of more adrenaline-based endeavours. Atop his world-renowned sidecar racer, he turns the energy of his twilight years towards cementing his name in the land speed record books. But when things take a sudden and devastating turn, Bobby and those closest to him must pick up the pieces and face death at the finish line.
Director Michael Rowley was present for Q&A following the in-cinema screenings in Christchurch.
