Speed
Get ready for rush hour.
Directed by Jan de Bont
Produced by 20th Century Fox, The Mark Gordon Company
A relentless, high-octane thriller built entirely around a single escalating premise—a bomb that detonates if a bus slows below 50 mph—that sustains nail-biting tension through clever mechanics and ensemble survival.
Tensions run high when a crazed bomber rigs a Los Angeles bus with a device that will kill everyone on board if the vehicle's speed dips below fifty miles per hour.
