After eight movies and eigthteen years, The Fast and the Furious franchise delivers its first spin-off - Hobbs & Shaw.
Directed by David Leitch, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw follows the titular characters Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), who become unlikely allies who are forced to team up.
Hobbs, a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and Shaw, a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7. They talk smack and punch each other – they are not friends.
When cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw partner up, along with Shaw's sister (Vanessa Kirby), to bring down this greater threat.
