Hulking lawman Hobbs (Dwane Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Jason Statham), a former British military elite operative, faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. They get a chance to show their muscle when genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever.

“checks all the boxes for the rousing, over-the-top ludicrousness you’d expect from a cinematic universe where there’s never been an abundance of believability.”-Brian Truitt –USA Today

“Fan favorites Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham milk the friction between their characters while teaming up to save the world in this gratuitously over-the-top spinoff.” -Peter Debrudge –Variety
