Near the end of the grand championship race, former champ Joe Tanto (Sylvester Stallone) suddenly pulls into the lead, easily outpacing his younger and faster competitors. His boss and team owner Carl Henry (Burt Reynolds) pumps a fist into the air as the arena explodes into a frenzy of excitement and proudly states: “He’s back...
...Tanto is a former race car driver whose past failures haunt him as much as the scars he bears from the accident that ended his career, and almost his life. Now, his old boss Carl Henry wants him back, but only as a backup and blocker for the rookie sensation Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue). But Tanto’s old nemesis Brandenberg (Til Schweiger) is still determined to win the championship. Complicating matters is Bly’s budding romance with Brandenberg’s estranged girlfriend Sophia (Estella Warren). The film spends as much time exploring the psyches...
...children of Brazil's greatest musicians are taking to the world stage.

...local administrations; in their effort to win respectability, they have generally proved honest and efficient. Still, the party cannot hope to win 51% of the national vote unless some catastrophe strikes Italy, and the Communists claim they do not want that to happen. They have abandoned their old slogan, "Tanto peggio, tanto meglio" (The worse it is, the better it is for us), and often cooperate to help pass important bills (or at least refrain from sabotaging them). Deputy-Secretary Enrico Berlinguer, 48, Longo's designated successor, hopes to make the Communist Party the nucleus of a "new majority...
