In Ottumwa, Iowa Walter Day founded Twin Galaxies, an organization formed to keep track of high scores achieved on arcade games. Billy Mitchell, having achieved the highest ever recorded scores on Donkey Kong and Centipede in the 1980s, remains a video game legend in 2005. Twin Galaxies has now become a global organization. Mitchell is portrayed as unabashedly cocky and fond of self-promotion, proclaiming himself the "Sauce King" of Florida for his successful line of homemade hot sauces. Next to his family, Mitchell considers his arcade scores to be his greatest life achievements.

The film shows the high level of personal expression that typically goes into independent games, through the story of three games: Braid was released in 2008, Super Meat Boy was preparing for its 2011 release, while Fez was struggling with development hell for several years.

The film centers on racers Annabeth Barnes (11 years old), Josh Hobson (12), and Brandon Warren (13) during a single season of WKA racing, where success can lead to sponsorships and a NASCAR career. All three face challenges off the track as well as on as they come of age in the surprisingly high-pressure world of go-kart racing.

Super Speedway vous immerge complètement dans un tout technique incroyablement détaillé avant de vous faire embarquer, via des plans semi-subjectifs particulièrement enthousiasmants, sur l'un de ces monstres de circuit que le film ne cesse de contempler et même d'implorer, dans toute sa perfection technique, affirmant peu à peu le pouvoir de conviction presque mystique qui frappe certains surhommes, adeptes pratiquants de vitesse et adorateurs des limites physiques admises. Ce film IMAX a été filmé en partie sur le circuit de Toronto, au Canada, lors des essais pour un grand prix.

"I Am Dale Earnhardt" creuse profondément au-delà de la légende pour révéler la figure complexe au cœur de "The Intimidator". Il était une idole pour des millions, mais un méchant pour d'autres ; le héros d'un travailleur, mais aussi un chouchou de Madison Avenue ; un mari, un père et un ami, mais aussi un homme solitaire que peu connaissaient vraiment. Sa mort tragique dans le dernier tour du Daytona 500 2001 a envoyé des ondes de choc à travers le pays et l'a immortalisé comme l'une des plus grandes stars que NASCAR ait jamais connues.

Common topics in the film include why games matter, what a game is, what they do for individuals, and how they affect culture are explored. Sexuality in culture bridges the gap to sexuality in games, to make room for the topic of non traditional sexualities and expressions being a part of culture, and thus video games. Hate speech and bigotry are common in online spaces, and how that affects people personally when they play games is commented on. Solutions to harmful activity is postulated, and many point to the GaymerX convention for doing good work in creating a safe space in adding visibility, to influence a more open-minded gaming community, as well as more LGBTQ characters in mainstream games.
