Running Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes

After pulling off the $100 million dollar heist in Brazil, the whole gang has gone their separate ways while hiding out in non-extradition countries. Mia (Jordana Brewster) has just given birth to Brian's (Paul Walker) son, and though they have a lot, it just doesn't feel like home. A short time later, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) approaches Dominic (Vin Diesel) with a deal to help catch a top international criminal named Shaw (Luke Evans). Dom isn't interested, until Hobbs shows him that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is very much alive and working for Shaw. Dominic brings the gang back together to find Letty and bring down Shaw in exchange for full pardons across the board.
