The film opens in the late 1970s with Jimmy Hoffman (Jason Sudeikis, 'We're the Millers', 'Angry Birds Movie'), a drug-runner who also happens to be the next-door neighbour to DeLorean. Hoffman's wife, Ellen (Judy Greer, '13 Going on 30', '27 Dresses'), begins to worry when the FBI shows great interest in just where her cocaine-smuggling husband gets his money. A deal gone wrong which leads to the organisation offering him a position as an informant under the management of FBI agent Benedict Tisa (Corey Stoll, 'Midnight in Paris', 'Ant-Man') as they try to bring in other drug dealers.

The Hoffman's neighbour, DeLorean (Lee Pace, 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'), quickly notices that Jim is making big bucks and, having struggled to get his sports car design off the ground, offers to make a deal with him. Told in a storyline that switches between the events of the late 1970s and Hoffman's court case in the early 1980s, 'Driven' tells the story of the business and betrayal surrounding the life of John DeLorean.

'Driven' is written by Colin Bateman ('The Journey') and is directed by Nick Hamm ('The Hole').
