Lightning McQueen: putting pedal to the metal since 2006! Watch the trailer Cars 3 TBC You can’t turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again... DIRECTOR Brian Fee VOICES Armie Hammer, Nathan Fillion, Owen Wilson “I decide when I’m done!” Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is back for a full- throttle third adventure, but he isn’t the lean, mean, racing machine we all remember from Cars 2. Quite the opposite, in fact.

With the help of excitable young race technician Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo) Storm warning! 14 JUL Lightning McQueen’s record-breaking racing rival Jackson Storm is part of the next generation of high-tech Piston Cup racers. Custom-built in 2017, he has a carbon fibre and metal alloy body, a V8 engine with 850 hp (horsepower) and c an reach speeds of up to a scorching 214 mph. Unbeatable right? Not if you have McQueen’s heart... and friends! and drawing inspiration from the late, great Doc Hudson, can our favourite four-wheeled hero beat the heavily stacked-against-him odds and prove he’s still got what it takes on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage – the Florida 500? Featuring friends old and new including Larry the Cable Guy as tow truck Mater, Guido Quaroni as forklift Guido and Bonnie Hunt as McQueen’s Porsche girlfriend Sally Carrera, will lightning strike a third time for the Cars franchise? You can bet your house on it. A fast, furious and funny third outing that’s packed with heart and oomph. On your marks, get set, go... odeon.co.uk 23
