A magazine article about real-life car racing gangs for
Vibe becomes this fast-paced automotive thriller from director
Rob Cohen.
Paul Walker stars as
Brian O'Conner, a youthful FBI agent investigating a series of hijackings by going undercover with a street gang led by charismatic Dominic Toretto (
Vin Diesel). Caught up in Toretto's world of gang conflict that is resolved in late-night car races, Spindler starts to sympathize with his chief suspect and falls in love with Toretto's younger sister Mia (
Jordana Brewster). In the meantime, Spindler initially suspects the wrong gang of complicity in the crimes he's probing, while Toretto remains involved in a forbidden romance, à la
Romeo and Juliet, with his girlfriend Letty (
Michelle Rodriguez).
The Fast and the Furious co-stars
Ted Levine,
Rick Yune, and
Matt Schulze.
