Cars tells the tale of hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen who is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there's more to life than fame and trophies. This is a high-octane comedy adventure that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line.
