What is The Fast and the Furious 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 brings to light the harsh realities of the Asian automotive import sector. City cop Brian O'Connor is told to bring down a group of thieves, who use Honda Civics that have been modified to steal merchandise by building an alliance with a group of street racers. He gets stuck in a street racing event in the desert in a 1970 Dodge Charger and has to race former convict Dom Toretto. In the final scenes Dom is injured and Brian lets him escape instead of putting him in jail for his actions because he has developed a friendship with him throughout the course of the movie. The action picture delivers on its promise to provide spectacular scene shots and entertainment.
