Fast & Furious

In Arizona, 17-year-old high school student Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) and Clay (Zachery Ty Bryan) race their cars to win Clay’s friend Cindy (Nikki Griffin). When Sean cuts through a structure and catches up to Clay, Clay hits Sean’s car repeatedly until a high speed turn which causes the pair to both crash; Clay’s wealthy family helps him escape punishment, but Sean’s numerous past racing activities causes his mother to send him to live with his father in Tokyo, who is stationed there for the U.S. Navy.

At his new school, Sean meets a fellow American named Twinkie (Bow Wow), who introduces Sean to Tokyo’s drift racing scene. Sean has a confrontation with Takashi (Brian Tee)—aka DK (Drift King)—over Sean talking to DK’s friend Neela (Nathalie Kelley), resulting in Sean challenging DK to a race. Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang), a friend and business partner to DK, lends Sean his car for the race. DK easily beats Sean due to Sean’s inexperience at drifting, and Sean wrecks Han’s car. The following day, Han tells Sean that he must work for him. Sean and Han become friends, with Han teaching Sean how to drift and lending him another car for future races.
