Formula X racer Makoto is willing to do almost whatever it takes to get to the top, and victory at the upcoming Open Cup could propel his loyal crew to international racing glory. A new engine from a mysterious benefactor gives his mech a much-needed edge — but they soon find out victory only comes to those who keep their underdog spirit.
Unfortunately the movie Dead Heat is not yet available on HBO Max.
