This installment of the franchise picks up almost immediately after the end of the fourth one so there might be some spoilers from here out. You have been warned.
After breaking Dom (Vin Diesel) out of prison transport, Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) head down to Rio to escape the long arm of the law. They realize they are going to need money if they're going to keep running and pull in all their friends on a huge heist targeting the local drug kingpin (Joaquim de Almeida). Badass international agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is on the case, however, recruiting junior Brazilian police officer Elena (Elsa Pataky) to help him through the notoriously corrupt city.
I will say that each movie has been exponentially better than the one before. It was a great idea to ret-con Tokyo Drift to be the sixth chronologically and they have been fantastic about bringing back fan-favorite characters from all the previous films to tie everything together. It really does feel like you're watching a family the way that the actors interact with one another. This is still not quite at the level of quality it needs to be as a stand-alone film but it is definitely moving in the right direction.
