Death Race is a 1973 American TV movie.[1]

Plot

In November 1942 in the Africa desert two Allied pilots in separate planes are sent to blow up a minefield. They come across a German tank captained by an officer. The tank shoots down one of the Allied planes forcing the pilot, McMillan, to bail out. The other pilot, Culpepper, lands to rescue him just in time. Culpepper's plane is damaged. The tank continues in pursuit.

Cast

Reception

The Los Angeles Times called it "a good suspense drama" which "is scarcely original enough to be anywhere near profound, but it does make its point emphatically in a way that's entertaining, especially for action fans."[2]
