Cars 3

After Mater's brief involvement with international espionage in _Cars 2 (2011)_ (qv), the seven-time Piston Cup champion, Lightning McQueen, finds himself struggling to keep up with young, motivated, and super-equipped next-generation rookie drivers. As the once-unbeatable racecar starts falling behind, taking increasingly dangerous risks to prove that he can still compete, McQueen needs all the help he can get.

Is Lightning McQueen still at the top of his game and the best racing car in the world?—Nick Riganas
