action
A gang known to the police as "Bolidenschieber" strikes again and steals six new Audi TTs from a van while driving on a motorway in North Rhine-Westphalia . Despite the great police action, the thieves managed to escape, especially due to the clumsiness of the young police officer Karl-Heinz Krause. This is why the car is used for speed monitoring on a country road in order to monitor the maximum speed of 80 km / h. Shortly after setting up the radar measuring device on the side of the road, two young women rush through the control in a BMW M3 at 219 km / h. A little later, a TÜV inspector in a BMW 2002 tii and vehicle owner Knut is flashed in the passenger seat at 211 km / h. The inspector had switched on the nitrous oxide injection shortly beforehand . Then Ecki drives up in a Ford Mustang and attaches posters to a sign inviting people to a “barbecue”. Karl-Heinz suspects that this is the code name for illegal races on the autobahn and suggests a deployment. His superior police chief Schmitt-Jahnke accepts the proposal, but Karl-Heinz has to carry out his plan on his own, as the rest of the police have to take part in a special exercise ordered by Schmitt-Jahnke because of the bolide pushers.
So Karl-Heinz sets off with his old VW Polo to take part in the race and film the drivers. The aim of the race is to have a permanently installed radar system on the motorway, on which a speed limit of 130 km / h applies. The driver who is flashed here with the highest speed wins. Knut, the organizer of the race, has a key to the system. After taking the speed camera photos, Bülent in his Smart Brabus is the winner with 230 km / h.
The following day, Alex, a participant in the car race who does not yet have a driver's license, watches from the car of his driving school how other sports cars are stolen from a car transporter. After the driving instructor leaves the car, he follows the gang and reports their hiding place to the police. Karl-Heinz, who has meanwhile found pleasure in illegal motorway races and has made friends with the racers, drives Alex in the police Porsche to the meeting, which is canceled because of the many patrol cars on the motorway.
In order to be able to drive a race again quickly, the autobahn racers hatch a plan how they can convict the Bolidenschieber: Bülent drives to the hideout of the Russian gang as a sushi supplier, attaches GPS tracking devices to all stolen vehicles , beats the gang and drives away again. When police chief Schmitt-Jahnke appeared at the shelter with a large police force, he had to watch helplessly as a truck wrecked all police cars and the gang got away with the stolen cars. The autobahn racers are now tracking the stolen vehicles (a Dodge Viper , a Maserati , a Ferrari and a Lamborghini ). They bring one of the cars to a stop and deliver its driver to the police. However, two of the freeway racers, Claudi and Nicki, are kidnapped by the other gang members. About mobile phone then they communicate all the speeders who rush to their aid and overwhelm the gang.

Reviews
Sascha Koebner wrote in film-dienst No. 5, 2004: " The makers of the film [...] faced the problem of converting a racing game without a story into a full-length film that also included the group of speeders and their illegal, Let both dangerous and mindless hobby shine in a positive light [...]. So the group of car smugglers was invented as a moral counterweight, as it were : malicious, Eastern European fellows who do not shy away from rape. [...] Films of this kind also have an obligatory pinch of soft sex, which is why the camera tries very hard to film the women around the speeders as close as possible to their scantily clad upper bodies and to watch half-naked girls in slow motion as they get in forcing tight overalls. [...] All of this reinforces the impression of seeing an inferior copy of a poor original. "
Paul Goossen wrote on duits.de: The film offers [...] a wafer-thin, cliché-laden story, which should be on the intellectual level of 10-year-olds. With such a film, a complicated story would only distract from the actual, visual enjoyment! And visually the film is not without: fast cut, accelerated or slow motion recordings, even excerpts from the computer game of the same name alternate. [...] Also suitable for a film of this genre are the let's say simple-minded humor and the numerous sexual innuendos, which are sometimes funny, but often simply flat.
Lexicon of international film : A comedy that is as trivial as it is simple-minded, based on a tension-free computer game that exudes the spirit of 1980s clothes and serves all the clichés of the genre.
