This movie is a classic. Don't laugh or try to deny it.

Brian (Paul Walker) is an undercover police officer, and he's super cute.  There has been a car racing gang robbing big rig trucks.  The gang drives up in their super cool racing cars, boards the truck, and takes the merchandise somehow.  Brian has a short window of time to figure out what's going on.

Undercover Brian dives right into to the world of illegal street racing.  He's got a sweet car, which he immediately loses to Vin Diesel (Dom) in a street race.  After the race, the police stop by, and Brian helps Dom get away, so Dom assumes he's a good guy.  Dom's family/gang are questionable about Brian (they think he might be a cop), but Dom is the leader, and he approves.

Dom's younger sister also approves. *Me-ow!*

As Brian hangs out with Dom, his sister, his computer wiz friend, and stupid nerdy friend he realizes that they are all really great people, just trying to live their lives, and racing cars.  Brian reeeeally hopes that they are not involved with the robberies.  There is a rival, evil car racing gang.  Hopefully they are involved.

Lots of car racing, gang shoot outs, and truck robberies later, we find out who really is behind the robberies.  Is it Dom and his crew, or the rival car racing gang?  Will Brian be sucked into this uber-cool life style, or will he arrest the real thieves?   This movie is always on cable somewhere … if you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend it.

Also, laugh at Paul Walker's acting skills. He's a pretty face, but the acting struggles at times.
