SYNOPSIS

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker head up an all-star reunion of the explosive Fast franchise set in sultry Rio de Janeiro. Former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker, Fast & Furious, Takers) and his girlfriend Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster, Fast & Furious, “Dallas”) bust Mia’s brother Dom (Vin Diesel, Fast & Furious, The Chronicles of Riddick) out of prison, blasting across South America to elude the authorities. Finding themselves backed into a corner in Brazil, they assemble an elite team of top racers to help pull off the one last job that could mean freedom for them all. But hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson, Faster, The Other Guys) is hot on their trail, and so is a corrupt and powerful businessman who wants them dead. When Hobbs and his strike force launch an all-out assault to capture the Torettos and their team, he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Instead, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey – before someone else runs them down first.

Available for a limited time only, the Blu-ray and DVD Combo Packs bring the full-throttle excitement of the ultimate Fast Five experience to the screen with perfect picture and the purest digital sound available on Blu-ray as well as an extended edition of the film with even more explosive action, exclusive bonus features, a DVD to enjoy in the car or on the go, and a Digital Copy of the film that can be downloaded and viewed on an array of electronic and portable devices anytime, anywhere including laptops, tablets, and smartphones as well as Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray set top boxes.

Packed with mind-blowing stunts, high-octane thrills and unprecedented automotive wizardry, Fast Five reunites cast members from all four previous chapters of the blockbuster franchise, reprising their roles as the most daring gang of outlaw drivers to ever get behind the wheel, while a relentless FBI agent (Dwayne Johnson) does whatever it takes to them bring down. Director Justin Lin (Fast & Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) takes the wheel of this all-star reunion as Diesel and Walker reprise their iconic roles as Dom Toretto, the king of the street racers, and former cop Brian O’Conner, now Dom’s partner-in-crime, while Johnson rides shotgun for the first time ever as Federal agent Luke Hobbs. Fast Five also brings back several popular franchise stars including Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris”, Bridges, Sung Kang, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Elsa Pataky, Gal Gadot and Matt Schulze in a story fueled by gear-grinding action, hairpin plot twists and vehicular mayhem set to a driving hip-hop and Latin soundtrack.

Fast FiveDirector Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious:
Tokyo Drift,” “Fast & Furious”) returns to the helm for “Fast Five,” an
adrenaline-charged sequel reuniting series stars Vin Diesel and
Paul Walker for their biggest thrill ride yet.

With the police in hot pursuit and wanted fugitive Dom (Diesel)
in tow, Brian (Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) make their way to Rio, and
realize they’ve run out of luck. In order to earn their freedom, they’ll have to
pull off their biggest job yet. After assembling a crack team of the top racers
in Brazil, the gang prepares to confront the crooked businessman who seeks to
silence them forever.

Meanwhile,
unstoppable federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has
assembled his own team, an intimidating group of top cops whose sole mission is
to capture Dom, Brian, and Mia by whatever means possible. But as the race heats
up, Hobbs loses his ability to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Now, in order to prevent the lawless trio
from being turned into roadkill before he can arrest them, Luke puts his pedal
to the metal, and begins to rely more on his killer instinct than his police
training.
