Short description
In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Roxanne, now a go-getting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny's soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery 'Ghost Rider'.

However, after filming, all the work had to be redone to comply with Australian safety rules and standards.
- To create Ghost Rider's rumbling voice, sound engineers recorded Nicolas Cage's natural voice, processed it, and mixed it with the crackle of flames, the howls of wild beasts, the clanking of chains, and other eerie sounds. According to the director, the movie trailers do not convey the full richness of this sound, but in the cinema's multi-channel soundtrack version, the voice sounds truly terrifying.
