Overwiew :This turbo-charged film centers on street racing and the people who live for it. Dominic Toretto (the aptly named Vin Diesel) is one of them, rebuilding high performance racecars by day and racing by night. Since the money he makes for winning a race (up to $10,000) barely covers his overhead costs, Toretto and his band of staunch followers supplement their incomes by hijacking electronics-filled 18-wheelers. The FBI, which has narrowed down the suspects to either Toretto or his arch rival Johnny Tran (Rick Yune), sends in undercover officer Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) to get the evidence they need and arrest the right guy. O'Connor gets a job at a local high-end auto supply store and soon infiltrates Toretto's gang, despite repeated warnings from its leader's steadfast cronies. He wins Toretto's respect, and after predictably falling for his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), begins to question his loyalties. It's a stale story line with all the typical elements, but who cares? In The Fast and the Furious, the story is a mere formality.
