Need for Speed is a 2014 action thriller film directed and co-edited by Scott Waugh and written by George and John Gatins. It is the film adaptation of the racing video game franchise of the same name by Electronic Arts. The film stars Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, Scott Mescudi, Ramón Rodríguez, Rami Malek, and Michael Keaton. It tells the story of street racer Tobey Marshall, who sets off to race cross-country as a way of avenging his friend’s death at the hands of a rival racer, Dino Brewster.

Need for Speed was released by Touchstone Pictures on March 14, 2014, in 3D, IMAX 3D, and conventional theaters. The film received negative critical reception and grossed $203 million worldwide.

Plot

Tobey Marshall is a former race car driver who owns his late father’s garage, Marshall Performance Motors, in Mount Kisco, New York where he and his friends tune performance cars. Struggling to make ends meet, he and his crew participate in street races after hours. After a race, Tobey’s former rival Dino Brewster conscripts them into completing the build of a rare Ford Shelby Mustang worked on by the late Carroll Shelby, in exchange for 25% of the car’s sales revenue. The completed Mustang is displayed for auction at a party in New York City. Tobey and Dino meet Julia, an English car broker whose client, Bill Ingram, wants to purchase the car if they can prove it will drive over 230 mph as Tobey claims. Despite Dino’s objections, Tobey takes the Mustang to a local race track and successfully drives it at 234 mph, convincing Ingram to purchase it for $2.7 million.

Dino, enraged that Tobey disobeyed his order, challenges Tobey and his friend Pete to a race after Pete flatly tells Dino that everyone knows Tobey is a better driver than him. Dino offers to relinquish his entire share of the Mustang sale if Tobey wins, otherwise Tobey will have to forfeit his share. He challenges them to race with his uncle’s three illegally imported Koenigsegg Agera R cars from Europe. On the home stretch, Dino, realizing he will lose, intentionally bumps Pete’s car, sending it down a ravine and killing Pete when it bursts into flames. Dino disappears from the scene, and Tobey serves two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, unable to prove that Dino was there.

Upon his release on parole, Tobey sets out to avenge Pete’s death. He borrows Ingram’s Mustang to enter the De Leon, a winner-takes-all hypercar race organized by the mysterious Monarch. As a condition, Ingram requires Julia to accompany Tobey while Tobey is driving the Mustang. The pair have 45 hours to reach San Francisco before the race starts. In Detroit, they cause an interstate chase with the Michigan State Police and upload the footage. Dino offers his rare Lamborghini Sesto Elemento to anyone who can stop Tobey from entering the race, causing a group of truckers to go after the Mustang as well. Julia retaliates by convincing Monarch of Tobey’s innocence, securing his invitation to the De Leon.

The truckers ambush Tobey and Julia in Utah, forcing them off the road. Maverick, a member of Tobey’s crew, appears in a military helicopter stolen from the National Guard, and carries the Mustang mid-air to Tobey’s crew at the Bonneville Salt Flats, getting himself arrested in the process. Tobey and Julia reach San Francisco’s Mark Hopkins Hotel in time to register for the race, but on Nob Hill, a tow truck smashes into the Mustang, injuring Julia and Tobey also damaging the Mustang. Desperate to get another car for the race, Tobey meets Dino’s fiancé Anita, his ex-girlfriend and Pete’s sister. Having discovered Dino’s involvement in Pete’s death, Anita gives Tobey the location of Dino’s hidden Koenigsegg, which Tobey and crew member Joe extract. Tobey meets Julia at a San Francisco hospital, and confesses his feelings for her with a kiss, letting her know that he has a “fast” car, and that this is for Pete.

The next morning, Tobey surprises Dino by showing up in the Koenigsegg, thus exposing Dino, and giving him Anita’s engagement ring, informing him that she is through with him. Besides Dino’s Elemento and the Koenigsegg, the other participating cars and drivers include:

Texas Mike’s McLaren P1
Johnny V’s GTA Spano
The Gooch’s Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
English Aaron Paul’s Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport
In the ensuing race, the racers and pursuing California Highway Patrol officers crash one-by-one, leaving Toby and Dino racing side-by-side along the Pacific Highway. Dino attempts to ram Tobey the same way he killed Pete, but Tobey dodges, causing Dino to crash instead. Tobey pulls Dino from the wreckage before reaching the finish line; both are consequently caught and arrested, with Dino eventually incarcerated for killing Pete.

178 days (5.85 Months) later, Tobey is released and Julia meets him at the prison gates in a 2015 Ford Mustang. The couple drive to a prison in Utah, where Maverick is getting released early for good behavior.
