Brimming with automotive action, history, intrigue, love, and skullduggery, Race to War casts a spell as it tells the story of power, intrigue, and what it means to be a man of purpose and self-sacrifice.

On a cold day in January 1938, two men climb into their race cars to set a world land speed record amid the tumultuous backdrop of Hitler's pre-war Germany. Passion, honour, and greed set the tone of each man's quest to be the best, both on the track and in the eyes of their mutual love interest.

Rudolf Caracciola and Bernd Rosemeyer are exceptional Grand Prix drivers. One is a devout Nazi committed to Hitler's purge, and the other holds a secret so scandalous it would mean certain death. Only one will survive the record attempt.
