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.

Taken for a Ride begins with interviews on the inefficiencies and congestion on Los Angeles' highways. Next, the film displays a variety of archival footage on streetcar systems around the United States, demonstrating that streetcars were a widespread and efficient means of transportation. The film continues into a description of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy, starting with a history of National City Lines and Pacific City Lines and General Motors' investment in both companies. The film builds the argument that streetcar systems purchased by these companies were deliberately sabotaged through service reductions and fare increases, then replaced with profitable, less convenient, bus systems. Next, the film makes a connection between this conspiracy and the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the suburbanization of America in the face of the Highway revolts in the 1960s and 1970s. The film ends with footage of the reduction of Philadelphia's trolleybus system at the time of filming.

The film opens in April 1945 with the death of Franklin Roosevelt and the succession of Harry Truman to the presidency. In Europe, the Germans are close to surrender, but in the Pacific the bloody battle for Okinawa is still underway and an invasion of the Japanese home islands is not foreseen until the autumn. American battle casualties have almost reached 900,000, with Japanese casualties at 1.1 million, and some 8 million Asian civilians have died in the war that began with Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931.
