Fast and Furious Timeline
Fast & Furious launched in 2001 with street races and an undercover cop. What started as a small-scale thriller exploded into a global blockbuster film series. Eleven movies. Billion-dollar box office. From LA drag races to world-saving missions, it's been a wild ride.
But the timeline? It's chaotic. Some movies move forward. Others go back. And Tokyo Drift? That one really mixes things up.
Don't worry—we've mapped it out. Here's the full Fast & Furious journey, in the right order.
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Let's start where it all began. Brian O'Conner is an undercover cop trying to catch car thieves in LA. But things don't go as planned. He dives deep into the street racing world and gets close to Dom Toretto; the leader, the legend.
He even falls for Dom's sister. Suddenly, it's not just a mission. It's about loyalty, friendship, and fast cars. This is the birth of the Fast family.
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
After letting Dom go, Brian becomes a fugitive. He ends up in sunny Miami and reunites with his childhood friend, Roman Pearce. These two are hilarious together.
They go undercover to take down a dangerous drug lord; with wild races, big jumps, and nonstop action. It's fun, flashy, and shows us how the family starts to grow beyond LA.
Tokyo Drift (2006)
This one's a little different—and that's what makes it cool. We meet Sean Boswell, a rebellious teen sent to Tokyo. There, he discovers the art of drift racing.
He's mentored by Han (yes, that Han), who becomes a fan favorite. The vibe is fresh. It feels like a side story, but don't worry—it all connects later. Plus, the drift battles are insane!
Fast & Furious (2009)
Dom is back. And he's grieving. Letty, the love of his life, is gone. Brian; now working for the FBI—is after the same guy responsible. The two reunite, but things are tense.
This one's darker, more emotional. The action is sharp, but the pain is real. Letty's story sparks something much bigger than revenge.
Fast Five (2011)
Now things really shift gears. The crew heads to Rio for one epic job; stealing $100 million from a drug lord. But they've got Hobbs, a relentless agent, chasing them down.
It's fast, explosive, and introduces major team-ups. This is the moment the series jumps from street racing to full-on action blockbuster. And it works beautifully.
Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
Everyone's living the good life—until Hobbs comes knocking. A new villain, Owen Shaw, is causing chaos. And guess what? Letty is alive. But she doesn't remember Dom.
The team comes together for one mission: bring Letty home. Tanks roll, planes explode, and hearts race. It's intense, emotional, and reminds us why this crew is special.
Furious 7 (2015)
Here's where things get personal. Deckard Shaw is out for revenge after his brother's defeat. He targets Dom's crew one by one. But with help from a hacker named Ramsey, they fight back.
The action is wild; from Dubai skyscrapers to cliff-hanging escapes. And the ending? It's Paul Walker's final ride, and it's absolutely beautiful. Grab tissues for this one.
The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Dom turns on his family—and no one knows why. The crew is heartbroken, confused, and desperate to bring him back. The reason? Cipher, a powerful hacker, is blackmailing him with a secret: Dom has a son.
This movie is filled with betrayal, submarines, and high-speed madness. But in the end, the family wins again.
Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Need a break from Dom's world? This spin-off follows Hobbs and Shaw—two enemies forced to work together. Their mission? Stop a super-soldier named Brixton, who's armed with a deadly virus.
It's loud, funny, and full of wild fights. Think buddy cop comedy meets sci-fi action. You'll laugh, you'll cheer, and maybe even root for their bromance.
F9 (2021)
Family secrets come flying out in this one. Dom faces Jakob—his long-lost brother turned supervillain. They're battling over powerful tech that could control the world. There are flashbacks, magnetic cars, and yes... a rocket car in space.
It's loud, crazy, and somehow still all about the power of brotherhood.
Fast X (2023)
Remember the heist in Fast Five? Well, Dante Reyes; son of the man they stole from—is back for revenge. And he's not playing fair. One by one, he targets Dom's family.
Fast X is darker, more twisted, and ends on a massive cliffhanger. The stage is set for the ultimate final battle.
