Plot summary:
The opening sequence of the movie starts with a reference to the Fast Five movie where Herman Reyes, don businessman of Rio De Janeiro is shown. He had hidden all the robbed money in a police station and now Dom and Brian pull the box full of money by their cars from the police station While Herman was chasing Dom, Dom drifts his car in such a way that Herman’s car gets struck with the almirah full of money that Herman loses all that money and his life too. Now Dante is fully determined to take revenge against Dom by making his family hell. Now the story begins from here as Fast X.
A scene is shown where a car is drifting furiously on the road and viewers assume that it is Dom but actually, it is his son who is called Brian or Little B by his father. Now Dom has his family reunion in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and there whole of his family is shown. Dom is seen spending quality time with his wife Letty when they are planning their next baby but suddenly there appears an injured lady who is Cipher(from Fast Eight). In that part, Cipher killed Dom’s wife Elena. Dom wants to kill her but Cipher adds that even his life is in danger and the enemy’s enemy seems to be a friend. Dom doesn’t understand her analogy and asks her to explain where the story goes to flashback. Cipher tells that she was working on a device that would hack everything, be it vehicles, satellites, and even big nuclear weapons. But Dante comes there and takes everything from her by making security to his side as he had made their family members hostage. Dante has the main motive of destroying Dom’s family. Since Cipher had lost everything so she came to Dom to ask for help since Dante was their common enemy.
Dom now contacts Little Nobody and asks when half of his team will come back from the mission in Rome. But Little Nobody tells that he had not sent them on any such mission. Actually, it was Dante’s tactics to put them into the trap where they have gone to take a device that doesn’t even exist in control.
Now the scene shifts to Rome where Tej Parker, Ramsey, and Roman are seen. They are seen trying to steal a device from a big truck taking help from Han. Han throws a lot of smoke from his car whereas Roman makes the drivers blind by the luster of his golden car. On the other hand, Parker and Ramsey try getting into the truck. But the truck and the vehicles are under the control of Dante. At this time, Parker and Ramsey understand that there is no device as told by Little Nobody but instead, a very big bomb installed by Dante. At that very moment, Dom enters to help his family. Dom somehow manages to stop the truck but the big spherical bomb falls off the truck and starts rolling all over the town. He tries his best to save the town from the bomb and finally leads the bomb to a lake. The bomb blasts but its intensity is reduced by ten percent. But it has still caused a huge explosion in the town. Letty has been arrested by the police. Dante wanted to defame Dom and his family and wanted the police from all over the world to chase them.
Now a new character is introduced in the movie. His name is Aimes and he works for Little Nobody. We can see Little Nobody's daughter too in the scene whose name is Tess. She tells that when Dom and his family started doing the normal robbery, her father felt that they can help him with the country’s security and hence he hired them. Now that they are going through a hard time and since their security is at risk, she would definitely help them. But Aimes tells that since they have violated the laws, they should be kept in prison. They now have a conflict of ideas and hence they go different ways. Aimes has the motive of sending Dom and his family to the jail whereas Tess has the motive of saving them anyway.
Now, the scene in Rome is shown where Dom is seen talking with Queenie who used to be a villain. Now she has become his friend and she assures Dom that he will save his family anyway. Aimes now tells his security that since Dom is in Rome, so his family must be in Los Angeles. Hence he asks the security to catch his son and his sister there. And hence the team moves to Los Angeles for capturing Little B and Mia but they try their best to hide from them. And suddenly Jakob enters the scene and saves Little B. Tess and Dom meet in a bar where they drink Belgian beer.
In one scene Tej Parker, Ramsey, Roman, and Lue are still in Rome. Roman, fortunately, helps all of them escape to London they get there sitting in a container having aftershave spray. On the other hand, Jacob and Little B are heading toward the safe place in Los Angeles where Dom had told them to go. On the other hand, Letty is sent to the black side of Nobody’s agency for interrogation. Tess comes to meet her and makes a plan for how to save her.
Dom on the other hand goes to a party place where he got the information that Dante is. Dante arrives there and some people start pointing the gun towards Dante while others towards Dom. Since it would cause a lot of casualties, they don’t kill each other but rather plan a race and whoever wins will do what they want. The race starts between Dom, Dante, Isabel (Elena’s sister), and the race promoter. Dom would have easily won the race but doesn’t do so because he gets to know that Dante has fitted a bomb in Isabel and the race promoter’s car. So he doesn’t speed up. He saves Isabel by strongly hitting the car and making the bomb drop. Although her car dropped, she is safe now.
Now the scene shifts to Letty and Cipher where they are taken to some other place. Jakob has now reached the airport with Little B. Now Dominic and Isabel are seen talking to each other. They remember Elena and get emotional. On the other hand, Parker, Roman, and, Ramsey have reached London along with Han Lue. They get into a shop to buy guns, cars, and gadgets for the upcoming mission. But the problem is Dante had already emptied each of their bank accounts. Letty and Cipher on the other hand are making a plan to escape but in the meantime, they start a fight among themselves too. Isabel says to Dom that his sister had some files about the details of the property of Herman Reyes. They get the location of the same police station which was heisted by them years back. With the hope of finding Dante there, Dom goes there. Aimes comes his way but is blocked by the locals who are Dom’s friends but Aimes fights with them easily. Now the scene shifts towards Jacob and little B. They get into the plane but realize that they have been followed by Dante’s men there too. So they make an escape through a glider ship.
Now the scene in London is shown where Han Lue makes a plan to talk to Deckard Shaw who may help them in getting things. Since Han Lue and Deckard Shaw didn’t have good terms so they start fighting with each other. At the same moment, Aimes’s men come to capture them but they make an escape anyway. They also get to know that Dante has emptied their accounts and given money to the serial killers who once used to be friends with Dom’s family but are behind their lives now.
On the other hand, Dominic has reached that very police station where he gets a call from Dante who tells him how he ruined his father’s life. Aimes’s team has reached the place and Dom is now under their arrest. They are on the way to take him to the black side but they get stopped by a missile by Dante and he creates a scene there. They get into a fight and now Aimes is also on Dom’s side to catch Dante. Now Aimes’s team and Dom’s team are collectively working to capture Dante.
On the other hand, Jakob has reached Portugal with Little B. Jakob shows him a car tank too. In the next scene Parker, Roman, Han Lue, and Ramsey get into a plane to come to Dom but Dante had already fitted the bomb there too, and as a result, they are shown as if they lost their lives in that explosion. Meanwhile, Dante has known Jakob’s location and hence he goes with the team to capture them. Jakob and Little B are seen firing Dante’s team. Dom has also reached the scene where is seen giving his best to save them. But Dante somehow takes Little B into his car. And here in order to save Little B, Jakob gives up his life by blocking the way by gliding the car. With full effort, Dom saves his son from Dante. But Dante had some more plans to destroy them. Two trucks are seen approaching them from two directions. So Dom makes his car jump into the river and both of them are safe. But here also Dante has put the bombs on the grand canyon. And the story closes here for the next sequel where it will be shown how he will fight against Dante. On the other hand, Letty and Cipher escape to Antarctica where Gisele comes to help them. At the end credit it is shown that when Dom took the almirah full of money from Herman, it was not Dom who shot Herman. It was Hobbs who killed him. So Hobbs is shown as the next target of Dantey and the further is expected to be shown in the next sequel and the movie comes to an end.
Page’s review:
Fast X seems to be an action-packed movie. Dante’s (Momoa’s) acting is on point, he is hilarious at times too but during fight scenes I expected him to show more fighting actions and be more harsh. He sometimes reminded me of his character Flip from his fantasy movie Slumberland. On the other hand, being a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, it made me a little dissatisfied that I won’t be able to see Jakob as he loses his life in this movie. Also, many people like Parker, Roman, Ramsey, and Han Lue are shown as if they are no more which disheartened me. But overall the movie keeps the viewers engaged and desperate to watch the next sequel.
