FAST FIVE reunites cast members from all four previous chapters of the blockbuster franchise, reprising their roles as the most daring gang of outlaw drivers to ever get behind the wheel, while a relentless FBI agent (Dwayne Johnson) does whatever it takes to them bring down. FAST FIVE went on to become the most successful installment of the Fast & Furious franchise.
FAST FIVE will be available on Blu-ray™ and DVD Combo Packs, DVD, Digital Download and On Demand with never-before-seen extended edition and an exclusive all-new Second Screen feature available only on Blu-ray.™ Universal will debut the Second Screen for a limited time on Blu-ray™, an all-new app for tablets and computers that provides an innovative and interactive viewing experience. With the Digital copy, you'll be able to take FAST FIVE with you on the go on laptops, tablets, and smartphones as well as Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray™ set top boxes.
Director Justin Lin (Fast & Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) takes the wheel of this all-star reunion as Diesel and Walker reprise their iconic roles as Dom Toretto, the king of the street racers, and former cop Brian O’Conner, now Dom’s partner-in-crime, while Johnson rides shotgun for the first time ever as Federal agent Luke Hobbs. FAST FIVE also brings back several popular franchise stars including Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sung Kang, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Elsa Pataky, Gal Gadot and Matt Schulze in a story fueled by gear-grinding action, hairpin plot twists and vehicular mayhem set to a driving hip-hop and Latin soundtrack.
