FAST & FURIOUS 12: THE LAST RIDE

When Family Becomes the Battlefield

“Every family has a breaking point.”

After more than two decades of speed, spectacle, and gravity-defying action, Fast & Furious 12: The Last Ride dares to slow down just enough to ask its most dangerous question yet:
What happens when the thing that made you unstoppable becomes the weapon used against you?

This is not the loudest Fast movie.
It is the most personal.

A New Kind of Threat: BLACKOUT

The enemy in The Last Ride is not a rival crew or a single villain with a grudge. It is BLACKOUT—a global syndicate wielding an EMP weapon capable of shutting down entire civilizations in carefully timed phases.

Cities don’t explode.
They go dark.

Hospitals fail. Transportation collapses. Communication dies. Society unravels not in fire, but in silence. The brilliance of BLACKOUT’s plan lies in its precision: it doesn’t destroy the world all at once—it isolates it.

And isolation has always been Dom Toretto’s greatest fear.

Forced Apart for the First Time

For the first time in franchise history, Dom’s crew is split across the globe—not by choice, but by necessity. With signals dead and technology useless, each team must operate completely alone.

No backup.

No family voice in the ear.
No second chances.

This structural choice reshapes the entire film. The familiar rhythm of teamwork is replaced by uncertainty. Every character must rely not on Dom’s leadership—but on their own judgment.

And some decisions come with irreversible consequences.

Letty’s War: Survival Without Support

Letty’s storyline is one of the film’s most visceral arcs. Trapped inside a collapsing Asian megacity, she leads a desperate street war against BLACKOUT enforcers as infrastructure fails around her.

Cars become weapons.
Alleys become battlegrounds.
Trust becomes currency.

Michelle Rodriguez delivers a performance rooted in raw endurance rather than bravado. Letty is not fighting to win—she’s fighting to keep civilians alive while the city eats itself from the inside.

Without Dom.
Without reassurance.
Only instinct.

Her arc reinforces the film’s core idea: family gives strength—but when stripped away, identity is all that remains.

Ronaldo’s Choice: Mission or Humanity

Cristiano Ronaldo’s character faces the film’s most morally brutal dilemma. Stationed near one of the EMP blast zones, he discovers civilians trapped inside the activation radius.

Completing the mission will save millions later.

But it will kill hundreds now.

There is no time to debate. No one to consult. Only a decision that will define who he is forever.

His choice becomes one of the film’s emotional fault lines—sparking fallout not through dialogue, but through consequences. Fast & Furious 12 understands that sacrifice is not heroic when it’s clean.

Sometimes it’s just devastating.
