What happens

Torque is a 2004 American action film directed by Joseph Kahn (in his feature film directorial debut), written by Matt Johnson and produced by Neal H. Moritz. The film stars Martin Henderson, Ice Cube, Monet Mazur, Adam Scott, Matt Schulze, Jaime Pressly, and Jay Hernandez. Its plot follows Cary Ford, a biker discovers and stows away motorcycles filled with crystal meth, but a gangster, Henry James, has plans to recover his drugs. He frames Ford for the murder of his rival Trey's brother, who heads the Reapers, a biker gang. Ford goes on the run in an attempt to clear his name, while the FBI and multiple groups of motorcycle-mounted marauders chase after him. Torque was theatrically released on January 16, 2004, in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $46.5 million worldwide against production budget of $40 million, and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, with common criticisms regarding the screenplay and direction, though the action sequences were singled out for praise. It was nominated for several Taurus Awards for its stunts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
