Loosely based on a true account, this family drama centers on a group of aimless Hawaiian teens who with the support of two inspirational teachers turn their lives around by building a solar powered car and racing it across the Australian outback during the World Solar Challenge. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Charles T. Kanganis' uplifting film about students learning to believe in themselves, Race the Sun, comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers. The film may be inspiring, but this bare-bones DVD is not. Give Columbia/TriStar credit for the superb sound quality, but there is little here of interest for the average DVD consumer. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
