Synopsis
Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay for this action-packed drama
directed by Renny Harlin and set in the dangerous, high-stakes world of CART
auto racing. Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue) is an up-and-coming young star of the
open-wheel circuit, but he's slipping in the rankings as the championships
loom. Under pressure from his promoter brother Demille (Robert Sean Leonard)
and wheelchair-bound owner Carl Henry (Burt Reynolds), Jimmy is given a mentor
-- Joe Tanto (Stallone), a once great CART competitor whose career and marriage
to Cathy (Gina Gershon) were destroyed by a tragic accident. Joe must earn the
rookie's trust, while attempting a career comeback, dealing with persistent
reporter Lucretia Clan (Stacy Edwards), and facing Cathy, who's remarried to
rival racing sensation Memo Moreno (Cristian de la Fuente). Meanwhile, Jimmy is
stirring up his own romantic trouble by pursuing Sophia (Estella Warren), the
girlfriend of top driver Beau Brandenburg (Til Schweiger). Long interested in
creating a car racing drama, Stallone penned Driven after abandoning a film
biography of real-life Formula One legend Ayrton Senna. ~ Karl Williams, All
