Fast & Furious: financial facts

A down to earth franchise

What sets the Fast & Furious films apart from many of the world's other top-grossing movie franchises is that they revolve around real people instead of superheroes or other characters with supernatural abilities. While the protagonists sometimes seem to break the laws of physics by performing high-speed car chases and daring stunts, they are still somewhat relatable compared to the comic book characters or mythical creatures from which most Marvel and DC movies are drawn.
