Description
In a world populated by anthropomorphic vehicles, the Dinoco 400 race marks the climax of the Piston Cup season. Heading into the event, retiring seven-time champion Strip "The King" Weathers, the cunning Chick Hicks, and the talented but arrogant rookie, Lightning McQueen, are all tied for the season points lead. Lightning is desperate to win and leave his unglamorous Rust-eze sponsorship for the prestigious Dinoco, and struggles with teamwork due to his self-centered attitude. At the end of the high-stakes race, Lightning squanders his lead by refusing to take a pit stop, causing his rear tires to blow out before he can win. The race ends in a three-way tie, setting the stage for a decisive race at the Los Angeles International Speedway in one week's time. After the race, Lightning rushes through the night on the interstate to reach California inside his transport truck Mack. A mishap culminates in Lightning being stranded alone in the rundown desert town of Radiator Springs, Arizona. He inadvertently damages the main road, and is sentenced to a community service assignment: repaving the road under the supervision of the town's judge, Doc Hudson, who is prejudiced against Lightning for being a race car.
