Not a whole lot of details have been shared as to what the plot of the film might be.
According to the report:
Plot details for this latest installment are being kept under wraps but we hear it will be a present-day take that will maintain the anti-establishment tone of the original.
For those that might have missed it the first time around, a description on IMDb read, “A lone crimefighter battles the forces of evil with the help of a virtually indestructible and artificially intelligent supercar.”
