A group of wealthy motorists drive exotic cars at extreme speeds late at night on the public highways. These drivers are referred to as the Banzai Runners. The majority of the Runners participate for the excitement of the driving, but one of the Runners is a cruel, ruthless drug dealer. During one of these contests, a policeman is killed. With no witnesses, it's up to the cop's brother to see justice is done. He accomplishes this by assuming a false identity and joining the race. To join the group of Runners, the police officer goes undercover, and obtains a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera. With this car he competes in an all out fight to the finish with the evil drug dealer.
