Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Fast Six or Furious Six)[4] is a 2013 action film written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin. It is the sixth installment in the Fast and the Furious film series. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Chris Bridges, Luke Evans, Gina Carano, and John Ortiz. Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who have retired following their successful heist in Fast Five (2011), but remain wanted fugitives. U.S. Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) offers to clear the group's criminal records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Evans) and his second in command, Dominic's presumed-dead lover Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez).
Fast & Furious 6 was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and principal photography began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also included the Canary Islands, Glasgow, and Los Angeles. The film was first released in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2013, followed by an international release on May 24, 2013. A sequel is scheduled to begin filming in August 2013.
Plot
Following their successful Rio heist, Dominic Toretto and
his crew of professional criminals have retired around the world: Dominic lives
with Elena; his sister Mia and Brian O'Conner have had a son, Jack; Gisele and
Han have moved to Tokyo; and Roman and Tej live in luxury.
Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent
Luke Hobbs and his partner Riley investigate the destruction of a Russian
military convoy, believing former British Special Forces soldier Owen Shaw and his
crew are responsible. Hobbs tracks down Dominic and requests his help in
bringing Shaw down; Dominic agrees when Hobbs presents him with a photo of
Dominic's former girlfriend Letty Ortiz, whom he thought was dead. Dominic
gathers his crew together and they accept the mission in exchange for full
amnesty for their past crimes, which will allow them to return home to the
United States; Mia and Elena remain with Jack.
The crew are led to Shaw's London hideout by one of his
henchmen, but it is revealed to be a trap intended to distract the crew and
police while Shaw's crew performs a heist elsewhere. Shaw flees by car,
detonating his hideout behind him and disabling most of the police, leaving
Dominic, Brian, Tej, Han, Gisele, Hobbs and Riley to pursue him. Letty arrives
to help Shaw, and shoots Dominic without hesitation before escaping. Back at
their headquarters, Hobbs tells Dominic's crew that Shaw is stealing components
to create a Nightshade device which can disable power in an entire region; he
intends to sell it to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, Shaw's investigation into
the opposing crew reveals Letty's relationship with Dominic, but she is
revealed to be suffering from amnesia.
Roman, Han, Gisele, and Riley investigate a subordinate of
Shaw who reveals Shaw's connection to Arturo Braga, a drug lord imprisoned by
Brian. Brian returns to the United States as a prisoner to gain access to
Braga; Braga reveals that Brian will only get close to Shaw if Shaw allows it,
and discloses how Letty survived the explosion that was thought to have killed
her. Shaw went to finish her off but after learning that she had no memory, he
took her in. Aided by a former ally in the FBI, Brian is released from prison.
In London, Dominic races Letty in a street racing competition. Afterwards, the
pair talk and Dominic returns her necklace. When she leaves, Shaw arrives and
offers to let Dominic and his crew walk away without harm, but Dominic refuses
to leave without Letty.
Tej tracks Shaw's next attack to a NATO Spanish military
base. Shaw and his crew assault a military convoy carrying a computer chip to
complete the Nightshade device. Dominic and his crew interfere, destroying the
convoy while Shaw, accompanied by Letty, commandeers a tank and begins
destroying cars along the highway. Roman manages to anchor his car to the tank,
which Brian then pushes over a bridge, flipping the tank. Letty is thrown from the
tank and Dominic risks his life to save her from falling to her death. In the
aftermath, Shaw and his men are captured, but he reveals that he has kidnapped
Mia. The crew are forced to release Shaw, and Riley (revealed to be working for
Shaw) leaves with him; Letty chooses to remain with Dom. Shaw and his crew
board a large aircraft while it is in motion on a runway while Dominic and his
crew give chase. Dominic, Letty, Brian, and Hobbs board the craft; Brian
rescues Mia and they escape using a car onboard. The plane attempts to take off
but is held down by excess weight as Han, Gisele, Roman, Tej, Brian, and Mia
tether the plane to their vehicles. Gisele sacrifices herself to save Han.
Letty kills Riley and both she and Hobbs leap to safety, but Dominic pursues
Shaw and the computer chip. Shaw is thrown from the plane as it crashes into
the ground; Dom drives one of the remaining cars through the nose of the plane
and reunites with his crew, giving the chip to Hobbs to secure their amnesty.
In the aftermath, Dominic and his team return to the United
States. Hobbs and Elena arrive to confirm the crew are free. As Dominic's crew
gather to share a meal, Dominic asks Letty if the gathering felt familiar; she
answers no, but that it feels like home.
In a post-credits scene, while Han is being chased in Tokyo, he is hit
by an oncoming car, resulting in Han's car exploding, killing him.
The other car's driver walks away from the scene and calls Dominic, leaving him
a threatening message.
