The Fast and the Furious

Brian O'Conner is a police officer tasked by an LAPD/FBI joint operation with infiltrating a Los Angeles street racing gang, suspected to be the culprits of a string of high-speed truck hijackings perpetrated by a trio of black 1995 Honda Civics with green neon lighting under the chassis. Brian gets a job at a local shop and works his way up until finally getting an opportunity to compete against elite street racer Dominic Toretto and two other contestants at a large, late-night event. Brian barters his way into the race with the title for his 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. O'Conner appears to be ahead in the race, having equipped his Eclipse with Nitrous Oxide tanks for an edge over his competition. However, after using both tanks while in the race he damages his intake manifold, resulting in more severe damage to his engine. He loses the race, but gains Toretto's respect when he arrives in time to prevent Torretto from being collared by the LAPD after their arrival on-scene to break up the race.
The scene starts by showing a main city. Rap music is playing in the back ground, telling us it has something to do with gangs. Along with cars and guns, we are told it is an action movie. The colours of the cars indicate who the good and bad guys are, giving the audience instant conection with the characters.
