'''''Fast & Furious''''' (formerly known as '''''The Fast and the Furious''''') is an American action media franchise centered on a series of films revolving around street racing, heists, and spies. The franchise also includes short films, a television series, toys, video games, live shows, theme park and museum attractions. The films are distributed by Universal Pictures.
The first film, based on the 1998 ''Vibe'' magazine article "Racer X" by Ken Li and written by Gary Scott Thompson, Erik Bergquist, and David Ayer, was released in 2001. The first four films focused on illegal street racing, culminating in ''Fast & Furious'' (2009). The series moved towards heists and espionage with ''Fast Five'' (2011), which was followed by five further films in that genre. An eleventh and final film, ''Fast Forever'', is set to be released in 2028.
Universal expanded the franchise with the short films ''The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious'' (2003) and ''Los Bandoleros'' (2009) and the spin-off film ''Hobbs & Shaw'' (2019), while its subsidiary DreamWorks Animation followed this with the six-season animated streaming television series ''Fast & Furious Spy Racers'' (2019–2021). Further spin-offs are currently in development. Soundtrack albums have been released for all the films, as well as compilation albums containing existing music heard in the films.
The series has been commercially successful. It is Universal's biggest franchise and the eighth highest-grossing film series of all time, with a combined gross of over $7 billion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fast and the Furious Franchise Box Office History |url=https://the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/Fast-and-the-Furious |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=The Numbers |publisher=Nash Information Services.}}</ref> Critical reception of the franchise has been mixed, though the fifth through seventh entries have been more positively received.

Cohen secured a deal with producer Neal H.

The studio warmed toward the idea of Timothy Olyphant in the role of Dominic Toretto, due to the success of the blockbuster ''Gone in 60 Seconds'' (2000), but he declined. Moritz persisted on Vin Diesel following his performance in ''Pitch Black'' (2000), with Diesel accepting after proposing several script changes. Moritz had difficulty choosing between the titles ''Racer X'' (after the article), ''Redline'', ''Race Wars'' and ''Street Wars'', but was ultimately inspired by a documentary on American International Pictures, which included the 1954 film ''The Fast and the Furious''. Moritz was traded use of some stock footage to its director, Roger Corman, in exchange for a license to use the title.<ref>Franich, Darren.

Diesel declined to return for the sequel, saying that the screenplay was inferior to its predecessor. Cohen also declined the sequel, opting to develop the film ''XXX'' (2002), which starred Diesel in the lead role. To account for these changes, Universal commissioned the writers to create a standalone sequel with Walker in the lead and brought in John Singleton as the new director. Filming was delayed by a year and the production location shifted to Miami. Tyrese Gibson, who worked with Singleton on the film ''Baby Boy'' (2001), was hired as Walker's new co-star<ref name="Amy Kaufman" /> for what was also the first entry in the series to feature long-running cast member Ludacris.

Although the relation between ''Better Luck Tomorrow'' and ''Fast & Furious'' was originally left unaddressed, both Lin and Kang repeatedly confirmed during the following years that it was the same character, and that ''Better Luck Tomorrow'' doubled as Han's origin story, retroactively making the film part of the ''Fast & Furious'' continuity.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2016/06/16/fast-and-furious-tokyo-drift-han/|title=''Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift'': Here's the story of Han|first=Will|last=Robinson|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=June 16, 2016}}</ref><ref name="JusticeBroughtLinBack">{{cite web|url=https://movieweb.com/fast-and-furious-9-justice-for-han-justin-lin/ |title=#JusticeForHan Is What Brought F9 Director Justin Lin Back to the Franchise |first=Jon |last=Fuge |date=February 8, 2020 |access-date=February 9, 2020}}</ref> Moreover, with ''Tokyo Drift'', the series was able to bring Diesel in for a cameo appearance, in exchange for letting the actor's production company acquire the rights to the Riddick character.<ref>{{cite web| url= https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/vin-diesel-traded-fast-furious-619386 |title= Vin Diesel's Shrewd Move: Trading 'Fast & Furious' Cameo to Own 'Riddick' Rights |first=Borys |last=Kit |date=9 April 2013 |work=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date =3 Aug 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://movies.about.com/od/moviesinproduction/a/fastfurus060805.htm |title= Justin Lin Will Direct "The Fast and the Furious 3" |publisher=About.com |access-date=29 July 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130414120607/http://movies.about.com/od/moviesinproduction/a/fastfurus060805.htm |archive-date=14 April 2013}}</ref> The third film was the least financially successful of the franchise, received lukewarm reception and left the future of the franchise in limbo.<ref name="Larry Carroll">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1608216/vin-diesel-explains-his-return-to-the-fast-furious-universe/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180803194418/http://www.mtv.com/news/1608216/vin-diesel-explains-his-return-to-the-fast-furious-universe/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 3, 2018|title=Vin Diesel Explains His Return To The 'Fast & Furious' Universe |first=Larry|last=Carroll|date=31 March 2009|work=MTV News|access-date=3 Aug 2018}}</ref>
Away from the franchise, Diesel made a string of box office or critical flops, including ''The Chronicles of Riddick'' (2004), ''The Pacifier'' (2005) and ''Find Me Guilty'' (2006), but his cameo in ''Tokyo Drift'' generated interest in reviving the series.<ref name="Larry Carroll" /> After signing Diesel and confirming the return of Lin, Universal worked to track the first film's original co-stars and re-signed Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster in mid-2008.<ref name="Larry Carroll" /> Walker was initially reluctant to rejoin the franchise after six years, but Diesel assured him that film would be considered the first "true" sequel.<ref name="Amy Kaufman" /> Morgan returned to write after the critical praise for the character Han Lue. Given the apparent death of the character in the third film, the timeline of the franchise was altered to account for his appearance.<ref name="Amy Welch" /> With the emphasis on car culture toned down, the fourth film, ''Fast & Furious'', was a commercial success. Although critical reception was mixed, it reinvigorated the franchise, as well as the star power of Diesel and Walker.

In 2011, ''Fast Five'' was released. While developing the film, Universal completely departed from any street racing elements prevalent in previous films, to transform the franchise into a heist action series involving cars. By doing so, they hoped to attract wider audiences that might otherwise be put off by a heavy emphasis on cars and car culture. ''Fast Five'' is considered the transitional film in the series, featuring only one car race and giving more attention to action set pieces such as gun fights, brawls and the heist. ''Fast Five'' was initially conceived to conclude the franchise, but following positive reception at test screenings, alongside its eventual strong critical and commercial performance, Universal proceeded to develop a sixth film.{{Sfn|Production|2011|p=17}} Furthermore, the film is noted for the addition of Dwayne Johnson to the cast, whose performance was critically praised.<ref name="ProductionCollider">{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/dwayne-johnson-interview-faster-fast-five-the-rundown-2/ |title=Faster the Chronicles: Dwayne Johnson – Exclusive Interview that Covers Faster, Fast Five, The Other Guys, 3D, More |publisher=Collider |date=November 15, 2010 |access-date=March 9, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727164313/http://collider.com/dwayne-johnson-interview-faster-fast-five-the-rundown-2/60304/ |archive-date=July 27, 2011 |url-status=live |df=mdy }}</ref><ref name="FilmingGeneral">{{cite news|last=Verrier |first=Richard |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/05/puerto-rico-cruising-on-fast-five-success-.html |title=Puerto Rico hoping to ride box-office success of 'Fast Five' |work=Los Angeles Times |date=May 14, 2011 |access-date=November 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517103012/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/05/puerto-rico-cruising-on-fast-five-success-.html |archive-date=May 17, 2011 |url-status=live |df=mdy }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2011/04/fast-five-will-transition-franchise-from-street-racing-to-heist-action-125552/#more-125552|title='Fast Five' Will Transition Franchise From Street Racing To Future Full Of Heist Action|first=Nikki|last=Finke|date=25 April 2011|work=Deadline|access-date=3 Aug 2018}}</ref>
In late 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was approaching the sixth and seventh installment with a single storyline running through both films, with Morgan envisaging themes of freedom and family,{{Sfn|Production|2011|p=18}} but later shifted to account for the studio's wishes to incorporate elements of espionage. Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, previsualized and began editing a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast & Furious 6'', before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Upon release, the sixth film became the highest-grossing film in the series, grossing $788 million worldwide.<ref name="FranchiseStreak">{{Cite web |last=Barker |first=Stephen |date=2023-04-13 |title=Fast X's Box Office Needs To Break A Surprising Franchise Streak |url=https://screenrant.com/fast-x-fast-furious-box-office-streak-break/ |access-date=2023-06-13 |website=Screen Rant}}</ref>
Universal lacked a major event film for 2014 and rushed the seventh film into pre-production in mid-2013 due to its status as a bankable asset. Lin decided not to return to direct the seventh film, as he was still performing post-production on ''Fast & Furious 6''.

From 2006 to 2013, ''The Fast and the Furious: Extreme Close-Up'' attraction was included as part of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. The tour's tram would enter a small arena, which featured a demonstration of prop vehicles being manipulated by articulated robotic arms.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xPOJgttYt0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/4xPOJgttYt0 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=The Fast and the Furious: Extreme Close-Up – Universal Studios Hollywood |date=December 5, 2013 |publisher=YouTube |access-date=May 2, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestudiotour.com/ush/studiotour/fastandthefurious.html |title=theStudioTour.com – Universal Studios Hollywood – The Fast and the Furious |publisher=thestudiotour.com |access-date=December 15, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/travel/themeparks/la-trb-fast-furious-supercharged-universal-studios-hollywood-20150505-story.html |title=Fast & Furious attraction takes shape at Universal Studios Hollywood |date=May 5, 2015 |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=December 15, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/07/11/fast-and-furious-extreme-close-up |title=Fast and Furious: Extreme Close Up |author=IGN Cars |date=July 11, 2006 |work=IGN |access-date=December 15, 2015}}</ref>
A new attraction, ''Fast & Furious: Supercharged'', opened as part of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2015. The tour's tram passes the Dodge Chargers used in the fifth film, as riders are shown a video of Luke Hobbs, who informs them a high-valued witness sought by Owen Shaw is on the tram. The tram enters a warehouse party, where the cast appear via a Pepper's ghost effect, before the party is shut down by the FBI and the tram moves into a motion simulator where a chase sequence ensues, led by Roman Pearce, Letty Ortiz and Dominic Toretto.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2015/06/24/real-screams-and-spooky-furious-holograms-on-fast-furious-supercharged-ride/77522238/ |title=Vin Diesel was rocked by hologram Vin Diesel on the 'Fast and Furious' ride|website=USA Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/fast-and-furious-supercharged-recap/ |title=Here's What To Expect On Fast and Furious Supercharged |date=June 19, 2015}}</ref> A similar attraction opened at Universal Studios Florida in 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2015/biz/news/fast-furious-supercharged-to-open-at-universal-studios-hollywood-on-june-25-1201456998/ |title='Fast & Furious-Supercharged' Opening at Universal Studios June 25 – Variety |first=Marc |last=Graser |work=Variety |date=March 20, 2015 |access-date=December 15, 2015}}</ref> In the queue, guests pass through a garage with memorabilia from the films before getting a video call from Tej Parker and Mia Toretto inviting them to a party.

The tour was panned by critics.

=== Video games === A video game based on the first movie was planned to be released in November 2003 for the PlayStation 2 and in 2004 for the Xbox, but was cancelled for unknown reasons. It was planned to be developed by Genki and published by Vivendi Universal Games under the Universal Interactive label.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-fast-and-the-furious-planned-for-release-on-the-ps2-xbox/1100-6025621/ | title=The Fast and the Furious planned for release on the PS2, Xbox }}</ref>

A 2006 game ''The Fast and the Furious'' was released for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable and drew heavy inspiration from ''Tokyo Drift''. It received mixed reviews and sold moderately.
A mobile game also titled ''The Fast and the Furious'' was likewise released in 2004, followed by a sequel, ''2 Fast 2 Furious'', released in the same year exclusively for mobile phones and based on the second film. Several other games have been released for iOS and Android devices, including ''Fast & Furious'', ''Fast Five'', ''Fast & Furious: Adrenaline'', ''Fast & Furious 6: The Game'', ''Fast & Furious: Legacy'' and ''Fast & Furious Takedown''.
''Fast & Furious: Showdown'' was released in 2013 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS. It marked the second game for consoles, and players controls multiple characters; its narrative was designed around the gap between the fifth and sixth film. It was released to negative reviews and middling financial success.<ref name="IGN1">{{cite web| first=Marty |last=Sliva |date=May 24, 2013 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/24/fast-furious-showdown-review |title=Fast & Furious: Showdown Review |publisher=IGN |access-date=July 6, 2017}}</ref>
