Synopsis

Andrew and Garrett Foster (Scott Eastwood and Freddie Thorp) are two brothers and car thieves who are specialized in stealing luxurious cars. The two of them will have to travel to the south of France to steal a Bugatti 1937, a car worth more than a million euros. However, the Foster are caught and find out the owner of the automobile isn't other than Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian), a local mobster. Luckily, he will decide to forgive them, but in exchange for another work: they will have to steal a Ferrari from 1962 to Morier's rival. This action film is inspired by the 'Fast & Furious' saga and is written by the screenwriters of '2 Fast 2 Furious' and 'Wanted'. The cast is completed with Ana de Armas and Gaia Weiss.
