“On the Drive” (2026) is a Ukrainian drama about a group of friends in frontline Kharkiv who find a way to escape the reality of war through underground car races. What begins as entertainment in an abandoned shopping mall gradually turns into a dangerous game where not only victories are at stake, but also friendship, trust, and their own choices.

What is the movie “On the Drive” about?

The events of the film take place in frontline Kharkiv during the war. A group of friends accidentally discovers abandoned cars in a shopping mall that was closed due to the hostilities. Over time, this place becomes a location for underground races that help them forget about the danger and tense reality around them, at least for a short time.

At first, these races are seen as a way to experience excitement and regain a sense of freedom. But gradually, the competitions become more dangerous — with bets, the desire to win, and the pursuit of attention on social media. The adrenaline and popularity begin to affect the friends, changing the way they see themselves and each other.

Each new race becomes increasingly dangerous, and this game without rules forces the characters to think about what matters more to them — fame, victory, or the people who are by their side.
