It’s the first spin-off from the Fast & Furious franchise, which has so far amassed almost $5bn worldwide across eight films, with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprising their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw.
Once sworn enemies, lawman Hobbs, an agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and criminal Shaw, a former British military elite operative, must now team up to take down a common enemy.
That would be the cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba), who has gained control of a dangerous bio-weapon that threatens to change humanity forever.
The film also sees the return of Helen Mirren’s character from The Fate of the Furious, alongside another Brit talent in The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby, who plays Shaw’s sister.
The film is directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2), with a script by longtime Fast & Furious franchise writer Chris Morgan.
Hobbs & Shaw is released in UK cinemas on 2 August.
