(2012) (Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:
Action: A cursed motorcycle rider attempts to regain his humanity by saving the Devil's son from being possessed by his father.

PLOT:

Moreau promises to lift the Rider's curse if he will help. But Roarke has given Carrigan dark powers to combat the Rider, and a final confrontation for the fate of the world is inevitable.
