1. Fast & Furious 6 (alternatively known as Furious 6 or Fast Six)[4] is a 2013 American-Spanish action
film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is the sixth installment in the Fast and the
Furious film series. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez,
Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Sung Kang, Luke Evans, Gina Carano, and John Ortiz.
Fast & Furious 6 follows a professional criminal gang led by Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who have
retired following their successful heist in Fast Five (2011), but remain wanted fugitives. U.S.
Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) offers to clear the group's criminal
records and allow them to return home in exchange for helping him to take down a skilled
mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw (Evans), one member of which is Toretto's presumed-dead
lover Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez).
Fast & Furious 6 was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away
from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have
placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and principal
photography began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also included the Canary
Islands, Glasgow, and Los Angeles. The film was first released in the United Kingdom, on May 17,
2013, followed by an international release on May 24, 2013. The film has grossed over $780 million
worldwide, making it number 47 on the all-time worldwide list of highest-grossing films, in
unadjusted dollars, and the 6th highest-grossing film of 2013. A sequel began filming in September
2013.
