The continuation of the film series "Fast and Furious" about street racers Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Connor has already become one of the most anticipated movie premieres of 2015.
This part was postponed due to the tragic death of one of the main characters - Paul Walker. To continue shooting, director James Wan had to rely on stand-ins and computer graphics, which will overlay the actor's face on the stand-ins through the actions of film editing.
Brief plot
They have conquered the largest capitals of the Earth: Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, and even London. But after defeating the villain, there is always a larger criminal seeking world domination.
The team is back together and they have to work in conjunction with FBI agents. Owen Shaw's brother, with whom the racers boldly dealt with in the previous part of the film in London, has started hunting for them. There is no other choice but to confront him – it's either him or the lives of the daring team.
In order to defeat him, they will have to infiltrate a gang of racers who drive truly cool cars in the Emirates. Perhaps this race will be their last, but that doesn't stop the friends who have become a family over time.
