Overdrive 2017

Against the backdrop of a sophisticated criminal underworld, half-brothers Andrew (Scott Eastwood) and Garret Foster (Freddie Thorp) have built their livelihood on a foundation of high-stakes car theft. Their latest heist, a rare Bugatti valued at $41 million, has pitted them against the ruthless Marseille crime boss Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian). Morier’s men apprehend Andrew and Garret as they attempt to peddle their ill-gotten gains, leading to a tense confrontation in Morier’s opulent mansion. The brothers are spared from punishment only when they offer to complete Morier’s coveted car collection by pilfering a rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (worth $38,000,000) belonging to the cunning and violent tycoon Max Klemp (Clemens Schick). With a one-week deadline imposed by Morier, Andrew and Garret must assemble a team of skilled operatives in Marseille, including Andrew’s girlfriend Stephanie (Ana De Armas), her pickpocket friend Devin (Gaia Weiss), demolitions expert Leon (Joshua Fitoussi), and four drivers to execute the daring heist.

As tensions escalate, the brothers face a daunting array of obstacles. Morier’s cousin Laurent (Abraham Pelaga) is keeping tabs on their operation, while a pair of Interpol agents, Officer Closson (Pierre-Marie Mosconi) and Officer Depaul (Frederic Anscombre), are hot on their trail. Meanwhile, Garret’s recent experience with a con artist who pretended to fall in love with him has left him wary of romantic entanglements, yet he finds himself drawn to Devin. As the stakes grow higher and the mission becomes increasingly complicated, Andrew and Garret must weigh their options carefully, including the possibility of abandoning the job and fleeing Marseille without stealing the Ferrari GTO.

The brothers’ initial meeting with Max Klemp, a self-made mogul who has mastered the art of ruthless negotiation, is orchestrated by Andrew’s clever manipulation of Klemp’s private plane. The ensuing tour of Klemp’s legendary car collection serves as a testament to his unparalleled wealth and status. However, as the pressure mounts and Morier’s deadline draws near, Andrew and Garret must confront their own doubts and fears in order to pull off the heist of a lifetime. Will they emerge victorious, or will their daring plan ultimately prove to be their downfall?

As Morier’s operatives snatch Stephanie away in the bustling Marseille marketplace, Andrew and Garret are alerted to the crisis in their flat by Devin’s urgent news. The brothers hasten to Morier’s residence, where they find Stephanie helplessly bound and gagged beneath a menacing car wheel spinning precariously above her face. Laurent taunts them, threatening to crush Stephanie unless they agree to complete the heist. Andrew and Garret reluctantly comply, promising to see the job through in exchange for their captive’s freedom.

The day of the robbery arrives, and the brothers set their plan in motion. Confined to a room within Morier’s estate, Stephanie attempts to charm Laurent with her wit and beauty, but ultimately fails. Undeterred, she manages to pilfer his key and escape, triggering the house alarms as she flees with a shotgun to reunite with Andrew, Garret, and their team at the doorstep.

Morier, however, has been duped into participating in the morning’s events, only to be left waiting by the rendezvous point while his prized vehicles remain unattended. His realization of being part of an elaborate ruse comes too late, as the gang makes their escape, leaving Morier to chase them down to the docks.

In the chaos that ensues, Andrew proposes to Stephanie amidst the mayhem, and she accepts his offer of marriage. Meanwhile, the brothers hand over Morier’s entire car collection to Klemp, revealing that this was their plan all along – a scheme to exact revenge on Morier by partnering with Klemp. In another stunning twist, it emerges that the two Interpol agents had been secretly working with Klemp from the outset.

As Devin departs, she clutches the crucial code to the garage housing Klemp’s prized Ferrari in her hand, foreshadowing a potential future confrontation. The story concludes with Morier meeting his demise when his car is deliberately driven into the water by Devin at the wheel of a coach, marking the end of his reign of terror. With her promise to contact Garret lingering in the air, Devin disappears into the night, leaving the audience to ponder the complex web of alliances and rivalries that has unfolded over the course of the narrative.

As fate would have it, the trio finds themselves reunited in the City of Light - Paris. Garrett’s initial skepticism gives way to confusion when Devin arrives on the scene, piloting Klemp’s sleek Ferrari with a flourish. The keys are then handed over to Andrew, prompting Garrett to assume his friend is bidding adieu to their high-stakes game. However, this assumption is quickly turned on its head as Andrew passes the prized vehicle along to Garrett, leaving him wondering if his partner is merely passing the torch or making a more profound departure. Meanwhile, Stephanie’s whispers of a rare and coveted automobile in Barcelona - one of only nine such masterpieces extant - prove too enticing for the group to resist. As their collective interest piques, Andrew surprisingly joins forces with his companions, and the reunited team begins to plot its next move, their sights set on the ultimate prize.
