Now that the gang's all back for a fifth installment of 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise, Universal Pictures has released the official synopsis for 'Fast Five.'
Directed by Justin Lin from a script by Chris Morgan. the action thriller stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Tego Calderon, Elsa Pataky, Matt Schulze, Don Omar, Joaquim de Almeida and Dwayne Johnson.
In this installment, former cop Brian O'Conner (played by Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (played by Diesel) on the opposite side of the law.
Since Brian and Mia Toretto (played by Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail.
Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (played by Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.
'Fast Five ' will open in theaters on June 10, 2011.
