In `60s New Zealand, at the bottom of the world, Burt Munro takes a 1920 Indian motorcycle and, delightfully without resources other than his own obsession and a Kiwi #8 wire mentality, spends his retirement rebuilding the bike and following his dream to go to Speed Week at Salt Lake in Utah. Under funded, without the support of a team and against all the odds he not only makes it to Bonneville, he sets a national land speed record, not once, but again and again.

In Fall 2010, Rocky Robinson was strapped into his 2-wheel streamliner, the Ack Attack. In front of him was 11 miles of perfectly flat salt, taunting him to open up the throttle and set a new motorcycle landspeed record. But everything went wrong . . . This is the story of Mike Akatiff and his team's battle to overcome the laws of physics and conquer the fickle Bonneville salt.
