It has a reputation as the most dangerous race in the world: the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 in Mexico. But every year, this one-of-a-kind event draws fans and enthusiasts determined to brave the harsh course, which includes deserts, swaths of cactus and the metallic carcasses of vehicles left for dead. This documentary about the 24-hour race includes interviews with drivers of everything from bikes to trucks, and from celebrities of the racing world to those looking for their first shot at glory.

Critics Consensus

Amazing footage from the Baja off-road race will give viewers an adrenaline rush.

A total hodge-podge of relatively random footage from the Baja 1000.

Contestants have 32 hours to finish the race, and unless off-road racing is your thing, Dust to Glory can sometimes feel like it lasts about that long.

"Dust To Glory" is a satisfying thrill ride that allows the viewer to experience the raw excitement of a race that few people have the stones or mental wherewithal to participate in.

I've always been interested by baja racing. And by the baja 1000 (huge baja race, witch this documentary is based around) however many people know little or nothing about the racing style, and the race itself. Many people are unaware of the deep down feelings, and close knit relationships the drivers have. I recommend this movie to anyone interested, or wanting to learn about the beauty of baja racing.

If you like cars, trucks and adventures in foreign locales, you will like this. This was one of the first movies cut in Adobe Premiere, for you geeks who dig computer trivia.

Bit messy and hard to follow but interesting material. Just too broad.

Great. Perhaps though a modern ON ANY SUNDAY film would've been even greater. (considering that Bruce Brown's son made it)
