Synopsis:
Death Proof (2007) is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film centres on a psychopathic stunt man who stalks young women before murdering them in staged car accidents using his "death-proof" stunt car. The film stars Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Zoë Bell as herself. It was released theatrically in the United States as part of a double feature with Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror under the collective title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation film double features in a "grindhouse" theatre. The films were released separately outside the United States and on DVD and was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
