Fast And The Furious, The

"The Fast And The Furious" is loosely based on a Vibe magazine article about street clubs that race Japanese cars late at night. Vin Diesel is Domenic Toretto, the leader of a street gang that is suspected of stealing expensive electronic equipment. Brian Spillner (Walker) is an undercover rookie cop assigned to find the thieves. Posing as a racing team member, he manages to ingratiate himself with the team's leaders and even finds himself falling for Domenic's younger sister (Brewster). Eventually, his assignment and life become jeopardized when the other members begin to suspect an imposter. (Suzanne Hodges)
