The Fast and the Furious and what it's about.
Exhilarating and fast paced, The Fast and the Furious has a resonant story about motor racing at its core. The central figure is actor Paul Walker and the film takes a harsh look at Asia's automotive import industry. A police officer called Brian O'Connor attempts to track down a selection of robbers, who use cars that have been powered up to steal goods, by forming a friendship with street racers. He takes part in a street racing event in the desert in a 1970 Dodge Charger and has to race ex-convict Dom Toretto. At the very end of the movie Dom is hurt and Brian lets him run off instead of charging him for his crimes because he has started a relationship with his sister. The action picture delivers on its promise to provide spectacular scene shots and entertainment.
