Top Speed
Using a combination of innovative LF cinematography, special effects, and computer-animated imagery, TOP SPEED is a dynamic montage of awe-inspiring individual performances and new technologies that graphically illustrate the science of speed.
Principles such as gravity, resistance, acceleration, and velocity come alive through stories and images of people pursuing ever-greater degrees of speed -- people like Olympic sprinter Marion Jones, downhill mountain bike racer Marla Streb and GT race car driver Lucas Luhr.
TOP SPEED is a sequel to MacGillivray Freeman Films' 1984 film SPEED.
