Togo Le Film

Dominic “Dom” Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew: Jesse (Chad Lindberg), Leon (Johnny Strong), Vince (Matt Schulze), and Dom’s girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), use modified 1995 Honda Civics to perpetrate a string of high-speed, semi-trailer van hijackings, stealing over $6 million in merchandise. LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) is sent undercover on a joint LAPD-FBI inquiry to apprehend the gang. Brian makes use of his cover job at The Racer’s Edge, an aftermarket parts shop, to make connections and infiltrate the local street racing scene. He enters his modified 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 420A in to an illegal race with Dom and other drivers by bartering the pink slips, but loses to Dom’s modified 1993 Mazda RX-7. Brian gains Dom’s respect, however, when he arrives in time to prevent Dom from being caught by police responding to the race. As they run away, Dom and Brian accidentally venture in to southern California’s “Little Saigon”, encountering Dom’s rival, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune) and his gang, who open fire with submachine guns; rupturing the nitrous tank and destroying the Eclipse in the resulting explosion.

The next day, Brian delivers a totaled 1994 Toyota Supra to Dom’s shop and offers his talents as a driver to repay the debt incurred from losing the race. Brian begins dating Dom’s father Mia (Jordana Brewster) and Jesse goes to work restoring the Supra. The inquiry finally leads Brian to suspect Tran and his gang of performing the hijackings and he reports the findings to his superior, Sergeant Tanner (Ted Levine) and FBI Special Agent Bilkins (Thom Barry). When the later raid of Tran’s garage show him to be innocent, Bilkins and Tanner return to their original theory that Dominic and his crew are the perpetrators. Tanner warns Brian not to let his feelings for Mia or his friendship with Dom cloud his judgment, and Bilkins gives Brian thirty-six hours to break the case. Continue reading →
