DreamWorks 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 Maddon
(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.
