Description : Fast and Furious

Three modified 1995 Honda Civics follow a semi-trailer truck, and they manage to hijack the truck, stealing over $6 million in merchandise. LAPD officer Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is sent undercover on a joint LAPD-FBI investigation to apprehend the gang. Brian uses his cover job at The Racer's Edge, an aftermarket parts shop, to make connections and infiltrate the local street racing scene. He enters his modified 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 420A into an illegal race with Dominic, Edwin Ja Rule and Danny (Rj De Vera) bartering the pink slips, but loses to Dominic's modified 1993 Mazda RX-7. Brian gains Dominic's respect, however, when he arrives in time to prevent Dominic from being caught by police responding to the race. As they flee from the scene, Dominic and Brian accidentally venture into southern California's "Little Saigon", encountering Dominic's rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) along with his cousin Lance Nyugen (Reggie Lee) and his gang, who open fire with submachine guns, rupturing a nitrous tank and destroying the Eclipse in the resulting explosion. They take a cab and leave at Dom's house. Dom calls him in for a beer at the party. Vince, jealous at him because Brian is dating with Mia, who he likes, tries to encouter him, but Mia stops him.

The next day, Brian delivers a totaled 1994 Toyota Supra to Dominic's shop and offers his talents as a driver to repay the debt incurred from losing the race. Brian begins dating Dominic's sister Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) and Jesse goes to work restoring the Supra. The investigation eventually leads Brian to suspect Tran and his gang of performing the hijackings and he reports the findings to his superior, sergeant Tanner (Ted Levine) and FBI special agent Bilkins (Thom Barry. The SWAT team, along with Brian, raid's Tran's garage, arrest him and his cousin Lance, but when is proved that there is no hijackings and that they are innocent, Bilkins and Tanner return to their original theory that Dominic and his crew are the perpetrators. Tanner warns Brian not to let his feelings for Mia or his friendship with Dominic cloud his judgment and lead him too far from the case, and Bilkins, angered about this, gives Brian thirty-six hours to break the case, or he will be sacked from the job and lose his entire carrer.

With the Supra now fully prepped to race, Brian presses Dominic for information regarding his income, citing the shop alone wouldn't pay for all his racing expenditures. Dominic gives Brian an invitation to "Race Wars", a massive street racing event held in the desert, and informs him they'll talk once Brian has proven his worth on the strip. Jesse, wanting to impress his dad in jail an Dom, bet's his modified 1995 Volkswagen Jetta and Tran bet's his modified 2000 Honda S2000. Jesse loses, panics and hastily flees the track, prompting Tran to confront Dominic and demand that he retrieve the car for him. Dominic refuses and Tran yells at him that somebody knocked him off and SWAT entered his house, acusing him (ubnekwost to him that Brian was the person who tipped him off to the cops and was right there in front of him) and getting him provoked into a fight in which he brutally beats Tran and is pulled off by Vince and two race wars security. That night, Dominic and his crew leave Race Wars.
