About
Swank is to play Janet Guthrie, a pilot turned race car driver who smashed barriers to become the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500. Set in the 1970s when the fight for women"™s rights was gaining speed, Guthrie made a bid for the Indianapolis 500 in 1976 despite relentless opposition from the racing establishment and the men she hoped to race against. Janet qualified for the race in 1978 where she finished in the top ten, destroying many widely-held stereotypes about female drivers. The film will bring Guthrie"™s passion and persistence vividly to life, immersing viewers in the untold story of the woman who came to Indy just hoping to qualify and left a trailblazer, inspiring generations of future female racers.
