The world’s greatest and most dangerous race is about to begin in the American Old West, where the winner will receive a whopping 50 million dollars after taxing America. This race is called the “Steel Ball Run.” Any vehicle, from a horse to a vehicle, is allowed; the only requirement is to cross 6,000 kilometers of desolate terrain.
Johnny Joestar, once a top horse rider but now incapable of both legs, comes just to watch this race. There he meets Gyro Zeppeli, who uses strange steel balls instead of a gun. When Johnny accidentally touches the balls, he feels a strange surge of strength, and he stands on his own two legs for the first time in two years! To discover the secret behind this miracle, Johnny decides to participate in this difficult race, and this is where his strange and wretched journey begins.
