The Pace That Thrills is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Webster Campbell and starring Ben Lyon, Mary Astor, and Charles Byer.

As described in a film magazine review,[3] a motion picture actor, whose mother is in prison for the murder of her drunken husband, refuses to take chances with his life on the lot and is considered a coward.

He dare not risk accident and the consequent curtailment of his earning power because he needs money to secure his mother’s pardon.

He is secretly in love with his producer’s daughter, but she too thinks him cowardly.

However, he proves himself in a quick succession of events, and frees his mother and wins the affections of the young woman.
