A number of car chases follow through the city streets, highways, rooftops, rivers and sewers.

The plot of The Fast and the Furious.
Fast paced and exhilarating, The Fast and the Furious has a colourful vehicle racing story at its centre. The main actor is blonde heart throb Paul Walker and the film takes a harsh look at Asia's automotive import industry. A police officer called Brian O'Connor attempts to catch a number of thieves, who use cars that have been powered up to steal goods, by infiltrating a local street racing gang. He participates in a street racing tournament in the desert in a 1970 Dodge Charger model and begins to race ex-prisoner Dom Toretto. In the final scenes Dom is injured and Brian lets him run away instead of taking him to the police station for his crimes because he has started a relationship with his sister. The film delivers on its aim to provide spectacular scene shots and entertainment.
