Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car
culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world
brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into
what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story
chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes —
one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of
redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise
ever with over 140 million copies sold, "Need for Speed" captures the
freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while
bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars
so timeless.
The
film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic
who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing
circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he
reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino
Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia
Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey's shop, a disastrous
race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit, and
sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out west.
Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge —
but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat
him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon — the Super Bowl of
underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run
a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing
cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino
has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the
surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and
proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog
can still finish first.
In
an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s
that tap into what makes the American myth of the open road so
enticing, “Need for Speed” chronicles a near-impossible cross-country
race against time — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves
to be one of redemption.
