What happens

Need for Speed is a 2014 action crime film based on the racing video game series of the same name, directed by Scott Waugh, and starring Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Scott Mescudi, Imogen Poots, Ramón Rodríguez and Michael Keaton. It tells the story of street racer Tobey Marshall, who sets off to race cross-country as a way of avenging his friend's death at the hands of a rival racer, Dino Brewster. The film received negative reviews, and although it was a box-office disappointment in the United States, it performed better internationally, grossing $203 million worldwide against a production budget of $66 million.
