Every Fast & Furious Movie, Ranked
Updated May 2023 to add Fast X.
Who knew that in 2001 Universal Studios would launch a street-racing film series that would have the power of nitro behind it? The Fast & Furious formula of hot cars, hotter women, and a brotherhood of charismatic rebels has fueled seven films so far, and shows no signs of slowing down, even after the tragic death of star Paul Walker.

The original film in the franchise ignited moviegoers’ need for speed in 2001. Paul Walker played an undercover cop who discovered the fuel injection flowing through his veins after infiltrating Los Angeles’s underground street-racing scene. Car enthusiasts were treated to scene after scene of speedy vehicles with only an uncomplicated, wafer-thin plot to sustain it. Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Rick Yune, and Ja Rule rounded out a diverse cast, which no doubt contributed to the franchise’s international appeal.
Despite lukewarm reviews, The Fast and the Furious sped away with a cool $207 million at the box office. That was especially impressive given that Universal only spent an estimated $38 million to make it. That was more than enough to greenlight a sequel.
“(You) might be charmed by the film's blend of kineticism, car-culture rituals, and hilariously flat-footed dialogue.” —Amy Taubin, Village Voice
