By the way, in 2021 the series celebrates its 20th anniversary.
In the story, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) retired from criminal affairs and devoted himself to his family.
Therefore, when his younger brother Jacob (John Cena), who was expelled from the family many years ago, comes for the hero, Toretto's loved ones are in danger.
Jacob acts on the side of cyber terrorist Cypher (Charlize Theron), who wants revenge on Dominic.
The team reunites to confront the villains.

"New Order" (Nuevo Orden)
The dystopia of the Mexican director Michel Franco is set in the near future.
In a fashionable area of Mexico City, a wealthy family is preparing for a wedding.
However, the bride may not be in time for the celebration.
The streets are filled with protesters, the military gets in their way, and the authorities go for provocations in order to ignite conflict between the upper and lower strata of the population.
According to film critics, Franco in his film presents the situation in Latin America in such a way that it becomes universal and projected onto the global crisis.
The author of Variety Peter Debrugge considers the tape very topical, although it does not fully reflect the pressing problems.
The picture was presented at film screenings in Toronto, Chicago and San Sebastian.
At the Venice Film Festival, the film was awarded the Grand Prix of the Jury and the Leoncino d'Oro Agiscuola Prize.
"The end of the film"
Vladimir Kott ("Carp Frozen", "Pyotr Leshchenko. Everything That Was ...") presents a comedy about the film industry and personal crisis.
According to the plot, the director Mita (Valentin Samokhin) gets tired of filming serials, and he, with the support of the ghost of Marcello Mastroianni (Yegor Beroev), escapes right from the set.
Against the background of many events with the participation of colleagues and loved ones, the hero will try to formulate his creative credo for his future life.
In an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Vladimir Kott said that the team worked on the film for minimal fees or even free of charge, but the group managed to fully realize their plans.
The production of the painting took three years.
During this time, the director excluded almost a third of the scenes from the final editing and changed the ending to a more life-affirming one.
The film also starred Viktor Horinyak, Yana Troyanova, Maria Shumakova, Natalya Surkova and others.
