| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Wraith |
|---|
A man named Jamie (played by Charlie Sheen) falls in love with a local girl (played by Sherilyn Fenn). Unfortunately, the local gang leader has his eye on the same girl. The gang leader and his gang end up murdering Jamie for his relationship with the girl. Jamie, determined not only to get his love back, but also to get revenge, comes back as a ghost/machine decked out in a black super car and kills the gang members one by one in a series of drag races.
