Red Line 7000

Red Line 7000 is directed by Howard Hawks, who also co-wrote the screenplay. It stars James Caan, Laura Devon and Marianna Hill in a story about young stock-car racers trying to establish themselves and about the complicated romantic relationships in their lives, against the turbulent backdrop of the professional racing world. The title is from the RPM's an engine could make on a tachometer before crossing the red line beyond the safety margin.
