Overview Ratings & Reviews

In the year 2030, Technology and modern values turn the world upside down as the new edges out the old and breaks the 20th Century's way of doing things wide open.

Clark, Jennifer, Rebecca and an international network of students design and build the "Car of the Future" that runs on "pure clean air" and flies through the sky like a bird. They must fight off a conspiracy of oil producing countries that is set on making every last dime from what is known as "black gold". The motley group relies on the Sequoia, a native tribe from South America, secret agents from a foreign country, and a space station refuge to assist them towards presenting their Car of the Future to mankind.
