High-octane heists and heart-pumping action ensue
What is Fast Five about?
Dom and Brian plan a heist to steal $100 million from corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes. They are pursued by U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs.
Five things to know.
Setup
The film stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto and Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, alongside Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, and Dwayne Johnson.
World
The production transformed Puerto Rico and Atlanta into Rio de Janeiro, using Puerto Rico to represent the city.
Pressure
The team faces pressure from corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes and U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs.
Craft
The film features practical stunt work and a comprehensive marketing campaign, including social media and cross-media promotions.
Viewing Note
The film is a transitional movie in the series, featuring only one car race and giving more attention to action set pieces.
A thought to take with you.
Dom's plan to take money from Reyes relies on assembling a crew whose members bring different practical skills. Hobbs's pursuit adds an official counterforce, so the heist becomes a contest between a team seeking freedom and an agent determined to contain it.
Is it your kind of movie?
Choose it for the heist-focused film that shifts the franchise toward ensemble action. Earlier installments explain Dom and Brian's history, though the mission stands on its own.
