Movie Synopsis
In the automotive world, the annual Piston Cup kicked off again. Red sports car “Lightning” McQueen, “Champion” and “Road Hog” are the most powerful contenders for the championship. As a rookie, McQueen is extremely talented, but also an arrogant guy. After intense confrontation, the three cars crossed the finish line at the same time. Since it is impossible to determine the final winner, the organizing committee decided to hold a desperate battle in Los Angeles, California, one month later, with only these three cars participating. Only the final winner can win the Piston Cup.
Full of confidence, McQueen and his partner tow truck, Uncle Mai, set off early. However, due to long-term fatigue driving, Uncle Mai accidentally left Mai Kun on the way. Mai Kun ran around and came to Youcheshui Town, which was forgotten by all the cars, by accident. Because of avoiding the sheriff’s pursuit, McQueen destroyed the road in the town. He was forced to stay here to build the road under the ruling of Judge Dr. Hudson Han and lawyer Porsche Sally. Within a few days of getting along, Mai Kun gradually became harmonious with the residents of the town, and at the same time he fell in love with the beautiful Sally. It’s just that when the road is finally finished, the unfinished game is still waiting for him…
