The Fast & Furious franchise revolves around a series of films focusing on street racing, heists, and espionage. The franchise also encompasses short films, a television series, merchandise, video games, live performances, and theme park attractions.
The inaugural film, inspired by the 1998 Vibe magazine article “Racer X” by Ken Li and written by Gary Scott Thompson, Erik Bergquist, and David Ayer, premiered in 2001. The first four films concentrated on illegal street racing, culminating in Fast & Furious.
With Fast Five, the series pivoted towards heists and espionage, leading to five additional films in that genre. An eleventh and final installment, Fast Forever, is slated for release in 2028.
Universal has broadened the series to include the spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw. The franchise has proven to be a financial triumph.
