Street Racers (Russian: Стритрейсеры, romanized: Stritreysery) is a 2008 Russian action film directed by Oleg Fesenko.[2][3]

## Plot

[edit]

Stepan returns from the army. His father’s auto shop is now owned by a certain Docker who organizes street racing. Street racing is not a goal, but a way of life, a passion that unites all kinds of people. Even such as Stepan and Docker. They are similar: both do not just love cars do not think of life without speed and risk. But the principles of one are empty words for another, and therefore a collision is inevitable. Especially as Stepan falls in love with Katya, Docker's girlfriend.
