The Fast & Furious media franchise is a multi-billion dollar action film series.

What began in 2001, when two of the franchise's main protagonists, crew leader Dominic Toretto and undercover police officer Brian O'Conner, compete in an illegal street drag race. Dom arrived with his undefeated 1993 Mazda RX-7 FD, whereas Brian came with a heavily modified, LAPD-FBI-funded, 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

After Dom won the race, it was Brian who saved him from the police who were chasing him. But in the end, Brian's Eclipse ended destroyed. Because of that, Brian who lost in the pink slip race, owed Dom a "10 second car," and this, and has since, bonded the two characters together, until they later departed.

The franchise is mostly about street racing, heist, spies, and most notably, family. And in each subsequent sequel, the team had to deal with increasingly dangerous antagonists, ranging to just some street racers and low-class thugs, to drug lords, a mercenary, an executioner, a cyberterrorist, and an assassin.
