The Transporter franchise, known for its high-octane action and thrilling car chases, is making a grand return with Transporter 5: Reloaded (2024).
Originally launched in 2002 with The Transporter (Le Transporteur), the series introduced audiences to Frank Martin, a highly skilled driver and mercenary, played by Jason Statham. Directed by Cory Yuen and written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, the first film set the tone for the franchise with intense action and a gripping storyline.
In the original movie, Frank, a British ex-Special Forces operative living in France, becomes entangled in a dangerous human smuggling operation. Inspired by the short film series The Hire, The Transporter premiered in Los Angeles on October 2, 2002, and hit theaters worldwide later that month. While receiving mixed critical reception, the film was praised for its exhilarating action sequences and went on to gross $43.9 million globally, leading to multiple sequels, including Transporter 2 (2005).
Now, over two decades later, Transporter 5: Reloaded is set to reignite the franchise with Jason Statham reprising his iconic role. Joined by Tatiana Pajkovic, the film promises explosive car chases, intense combat, and a brand-new mission that will push Frank Martin to his limits. Fans of the series can expect an adrenaline-fueled ride like never before.
