HIGH SPEED

The theatrical trailer for the award winning feature film starring Sienna Miller, Andrew Lee Potts and Paul Nichols. Rafael Sorvino (Potts) and Ruben Thomas (Nichols) have been life long friends as well as teamates on the Aprilia World Superbike racing team. Rafael's father (Massimo Ghinni) is his manager but has a gambling problem; he bets on the races and owes $100k. Raf discovers this and tell his father to bet everything on him to win the next race and after that, he's fired. During the race, Ruben crashes right in front of Raf. Could he have avoided him or was winning the race more important to him? Raf runs him over and goes on to win the race. However, his best frined is paralyzed. Raf is suspended from racing pending an investigation and is sent home to London. Ruben's girlfriend (Sienna Miller) harbors a secret love for Raf but now she'll never leave Ruben. Raf must come to grips with his friend's injury and reevaluates his own life. Ruben accepts the hand he has been dealt and becomes a journalist with a motorsports magazine. At the accident inquiry, Raf is cleared of any wrong doing but is unclear if he'll ever get on a motorcycle again or rejoin the racing team and whether to reveal his love for Savannah (Miller). The film was shot with the cooperation of SBK and on some of the most famous racing circuits in Italy, Spain and the U.K. with many of the actual racers participating. The factory teams from Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, Suzuki and Kawasake all provided the race bikes for the filming.
