Plot

LAPD officer Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is sent undercover on a joint LAPD-FBI investigation to apprehend the hijackers. Brian uses his cover job at The Racer's Edge, an aftermarket parts shop, to make connections and infiltrate the local street racing scene. One night, on a local street racing gathering, he enters his modified 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 420A into an illegal race with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Edwin (Ja Rule) and Danny (Rj De Vera) bartering the pink slips, due that he doesn't have enough money to bet in the race.

Brian, due to his lack of knowledge in racing, fires too much nitrous oxide, and he pressures the Eclipse's engine, and he spins out, frying his engine and also losing to Dominic's modified 1993 Mazda RX-7. Brian gains Dominic's respect, however, when he arrives in time to prevent Dominic from being caught by police responding to the race. As they flee from the scene, Dominic and Brian accidentally venture into Southern California's Little Saigon, encountering Dominic's rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) along with his cousin Lance Nguyen (Reggie Lee) and his gang, who open fire with submachine guns, rupturing a nitrous tank and destroying the Eclipse in the resulting explosion, but Brian and Dominic leave.

Later on, Dom invites Brian to a party at his house, where he encounters with Dominic's friend, Vince (Matt Schulze), who dislikes Brian because of Dominic's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), who likes Brian. At the party, Brian also meets with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom's longtime girlfriend, and the rest of the Dom's crew, Leon (Johnny Strong) and Jesse (Chad Lindberg).

The next day, Brian delivers a totaled 1994 Toyota Supra to Dominic's shop and offers his talents as a driver to repay the debt incurred from losing the race. Brian begins dating Mia and Jesse goes to work restoring the Supra. Dominic also invites Brian to his house, showing him a 1970 Dodge Charger, which he built with his father. Dom tells him that his dad was a race car driver, and Dom was also qualified to race on the tracks and that one day, his father was forced into a wall by another racer, and died when the fuel tanks exploded. He met the driver a week later and beat him up with a 3/4" torque wrench. This caused Dom to have a record, and he was forbidden to race on the track for life.

The investigation eventually leads Brian to suspect Tran and his gang of performing the hijackings and he reports the findings to his superior, Sergeant Tanner (Ted Levine) and FBI special agent Bilkins (Thom Barry). The SWAT team, along with Brian, raids Tran's garage and arrests him and his cousin Lance, but when it is proved that they are innocent, Bilkins and Tanner, Brian's superiors return to their original theory that Dominic and his crew are the perpetrators. Tanner warns Brian not to let his feelings for Mia or his friendship with Dominic cloud his judgment and lead him too far from the case, and Bilkins, angered about this, gives Brian only 36 hours to break the case or he will be sacked from the job and lose his entire career.

With the Supra now fully prepped to race, Brian presses Dominic for information regarding his income, citing that the shop alone wouldn't pay for all his racing expenditures. Dominic gives Brian an invitation to "Race Wars", a massive street racing event held in the desert, and informs him they'll talk once Brian has proven his worth on the strip. Jesse, wanting to impress his dad in jail and Dom, bets his modified 1995 Volkswagen Jetta and Tran bets his modified 2000 Honda S2000. Jesse loses, panics and hastily flees the track, prompting Tran to confront Dominic and demand that he retrieve the car for him. Dominic refuses and Tran accuses him of informing on him. In response Dominic brutally beats Tran and is pulled off by Vince and two race wars security. That night, Brian notices Dominic and his crew leaving the Race Wars.

Brian realizes that Dominic is the hijacker and confesses to Mia his status as an undercover cop. She is angry at Brian and leaves him, but he says to her that everything that he said to her about their relationship is true and convinces her to come with him to save her brother and his friends from the armed truck drivers, and they leave on the highway to catch up with Dominic and the rest of the group.Click Here to watch Amazing Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbS6xYwo1_g 

Meanwhile, the attempted hijacking goes wrong when the truck driver fights back with a shotgun, causing Letty to crash and critically wounding Vince. Brian tracks their location by triangulating Dominic's cell phone signal, and works with Mia work together to get him off the truck. Just then, Dominic arrives with Leon and Letty. Brian, realizing that Vince will die and that he has no other choice, makes the difficult decision to blow his cover to the crew by phoning in for a medivac, revealing that he is a police officer. The revelation enrages Dominic, but he contains himself and flees with Leon, Letty and Mia as the medivac arrives for Vince.

Brian follows Dominic to his house and holds him at gunpoint to prevent him from fleeing, but he is angry and yells that he is going to look for Jesse before Tran finds him. Just when Dom points his shotgun to him, Jesse arrives, apologizing for his actions at Race Wars and pleading for help with Tran. Moments later, Tran and Lance arrive on their bikes and perform a drive-by shooting and kill Jesse. Brian and Dominic chase them, with Dom in his Charger. He forces Lance's motorcycle off the road, severely injuring him, while Brian, after a short chase, manages to shoot and kill Tran. Afterwards, Brian and Dominic engage in a drag race, narrowly avoiding a passing train. Dominic smiles, but he crashes into a semi-truck and rolls his car twice, totaling the Charger. Brian pulls out Dom, with Dom assuming that he will arrest him now, but instead of arresting him, Brian hands over the keys to the Supra and lets him escape, making good on his promise to deliver a "ten-second car". Dom leaves, and we see Brian walking past the camera.

After the credits, Dominic is seen driving through Baja California, Mexico, in a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, with the words "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time. For those 10 seconds or less, I'm free", disappearing in the sunset.
