- On day three of the toughest race in the world, rookie cyclist, Jason "The Hammer" Lane, gets run over by a car. Feuding with his crew and the documentarians following him, he must fight against all odds to win the The Race Across America.
- The toughest race in the world is about to be seen in a whole new light in Hornsby Films' new documentary, The Hammer, about one rookie cyclist's attempt to win the Race Across America (RAAM) The film follows renowned adventure-racer, Jason "The Hammer" Lane, during his 2012 RAAM attempt and shines a spotlight on the cyclist's rookie, but well-meaning crew in a way never before depicted. When The Hammer gets hit, run over, and dragged by a car on day three of the race, the film takes a turn that no one anticipated. The Hammer film, quite literally, brings the viewer into the driver's seat of a RAAM follow vehicle. It exposes the friendships, conflicts, perseverance and humility that comes with a 3,000-mile transcontinental bicycle race and getting one man, on a bike, across the country safely in less than 10 days.
- Champion adventure racer, Jason "The Hammer" Lane, had both knees reconstructed in 2010. After being told that the best therapy was to ride a bike, Jason entered The Race Across America (RAAM) - a 3000-mile, coast to coast cycling race. The winner will finish in less than 8 days. Sleep? Certainly not for the first 48 hours. After that, rest comes in the form of receiving IV drips and counting REM cycles. "The Hammer" literally puts you in the passenger's seat of RAAM as you follow an unknown rookie racer battle for the lead, get run over by a car, and feud with an unprepared crew in a fight to the finish line. In this raw, unabashed documentary, you will witness the determination of a true champion and the love that grows among near strangers through challenge and conflict. The Race Across America has no favorites; rather a taste to swallow half of the field. Each and every racer is tested. Some will pass, some will fail, but only one will Hammer.—Scott Hornsby
