The prophetically named Johnny Blaze and his father perform death-defying stunts in a carnival, but the real danger to his dad's life is the cancer growing within his dying body....
more...To save him, Johnny makes a deal with Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda, EASY RIDER) and sacrifices his soul. When his father is killed mid-stunt, Johnny runs away, leaving behind his grief and a young love named Roxanne. Years later, Johnny (Nicolas Cage, WORLD TRADE CENTER) is the most famous rider in the country. Despite his daredevil tendencies, Johnny is a different man when he's not riding his bike. Though he wears leather jackets and pants, he prefers jelly beans to Jim Beam while listening to the Carpenters. Years have passed since Johnny has seen the love of his life, but he still carries a torch for Roxanne (Eva Mendes, HITCH). When he sees her after a stunt, he tries to regain her love and trust. But it's time for the devil to take his due as he brings Johnny into an epic battle with Blackheart (Wes Bentley, AMERICAN BEAUTY). In the presence of evil, Johnny transforms into a super-strong skeleton with a flaming skull who has the power to defeat Blackheart and his minions. As Johnny, Cage plays a cross between his Elvis devotee in WILD AT HEART and the sensitive he-man in CON AIR. The evil Mephistopheles is Fonda's most memorable role since his Oscar-nominated turn in ULEE'S GOLD, and this film provides an opportunity for him to return to the spotlight. Director Mark Steven Johnson (DAREDEVIL) provides a film driven by both humour and action.

Review of Ghost Rider DVD by Andy.mack

Advantages: The theme music and some decent special effects

...only if he becomes the Ghost Rider and stops his evil son Blackheart from destroying the world. The transformation of Ghost Rider to the big screen is the latest in a long list of Marvel comics to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster. Just like the majority of those films it also finds itself added to the list of rather poor comic book to movie conversions. While that is not totally fair it is quite true. The film itself had a bit of potential ... Read review

Ghost Rider - A Must See
Review of Ghost Rider DVD by GoFigure

Advantages: Action-packed and fast-paced... entertaining.
Disadvantages: None

...can stop his son... the Ghost Rider. Unfortunately for him, Johnny Blaze becomes the Ghost Rider, and he soon discovers the magnitude of the mistake he made all those year ago when he made a deal with the devil. When he turns into a blazing skeleton complete with multipurpose heavyweight chain and road-ravaging flaming tank chopper, it becomes obvious there's no turning back. COMMENT: This is a tremendously entertaining movie, and Cage's ... Read review
