Disgraced cop Brian O’Connor returns for another high-octane street racing adventure in this sequel to the 2001 smash The Fast and The Furious.

2 Fast 2 Furious

Cross the line...one more time.

Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, Baby Boy) and produced by Neal H. Moritz (The Fast and the Furious, Sweet Home Alabama), 2 Fast 2 Furious also features a whole new line-up of dazzling, rocket-fast, high-performance vehicles ready to burn up the screen.

Returning from the previous film Brian O’Connor (played once again by Paul Walker), is a disgraced cop. As far as his former bosses and the FBI top brass are concerned, the hothead undercover officer threw one of their largest investigations ever - his loyalties confused while infiltrating the fly-by-night, high-speed world of LA street racing.

The Fast and the Furious

In the film to which this is the equally hi-octane sequel (The Fast and the Furious) O’Connor blew his own cover and let the ringleader of a big-rig hijacking operation walk – or more precisely - motor off - in his own custom performance racer. The former detective’s decision cost him his badge and any chance of redemption in the process.

Now, it’s a different city, a different time and one last chance for O’Connor. It seems the FBI in Miami are having trouble collaring one villain - Carter Verone - (played by Cole Hauser), a flashy businessman using his import/export business as cover for an international money laundering cartel. The customs authorities have had Verone under intense surveillance for more than a year with nothing more to show for it other than the kingpin’s link to illegal street racing.

With their backs against the wall and time running out for the investigation, officials put out a call for the one rogue cop on the edge they think may be able to infiltrate the organisation - O’Connor.

Called back in to do what he does best—talk the talk and push the metal the rule-breaking loner has his own demands before taking on the job that may restore him his badge. Unhappy with the list of sorry possibilities presented as potential partners, he insists on recruiting his childhood friend - and now ex-con - Roman Pearce (played by Tyrese Gibson), an accomplished criminal with an aptitude for barrier-shattering speed.

FBI Agent Markham (James Remar), offer Pearce a deal - work with O’Connor and his impressive rap sheet will disappear. So now, it’s a last chance for both, ex-con and ex-cop, and their ticket out of disgrace is bringing down Verone. The lines quickly become blurred once again for O’Connor with the appearance of undercover agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes), the key to entering Verone’s world who may herself be involved with the criminal entrepreneur they’re working to bring down...
