Story Overview

The Fast and the Furious

In the dark streets of Los Angeles, underground street racing gangs gamble huge sums of money while pushing themselves into dangerously high-risk games. These nocturnal races bring not only peril and destruction, but also fame, respect, and fast money for those who dare to live on the edge.

Dominic (Vin Diesel) is a legendary figure in this world, a man who has devoted his life to racing. With exceptional mechanical skills, he can transform a junk car into a near-aircraft-level machine by adding custom parts and raw ingenuity, earning both fear and admiration on the streets.

One night, a young newcomer named Brian (Paul Walker) arrives and boldly insists on joining the races. Impressed by his courage and attitude, Dominic befriends him. Brian also draws the attention of Dominic’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), who begins to fall for him—unaware that Brian is secretly an undercover police officer sent to infiltrate the racing crew from within.
