Plot[edit]
Tobey Marshall is a former race car driver who owns a Mount Kisco, New York garage, where he and his friends tune performance cars. Struggling to make ends meet, he and his crew participate in street races after hours. One day, Dino Brewster, Tobey's former rival, arrives at his garage with an offer to complete the build of a rare Ford Shelby Mustang worked on by the late Carrol Shelby. Dino wants Tobey and his crew to complete the project in exchange for 25% of the car's estimated selling price of $2 million. Despite objections from the crew, Tobey agrees to the deal.
Upon completion of the project, the Shelby Mustang is put up for auction at a party. Tobey and Dino meet Julia, an Englishwoman who agrees to pay $3 million if the car can go over 230 mph, as Tobey claims. The next morning at a nearby track, Tobey gets the Mustang to reach 234 mph, prompting Julia to purchase it for $2.7 million. Later, Dino challenges Tobey and his partner Little Pete to race his uncle's three illegally imported Koenigsegg Ageras from his mansion to a bridge over I-684. If Tobey wins, he gets Dino's 75% of the Mustang deal; if he loses, he gives up his 25%. During the race, Dino tags Little Pete's car, sending it flipping down a ravine before bursting into flames. Dino disappears from the scene, and Tobey is sent to jail for involuntary manslaughter, as there is no evidence pointing to Dino's involvement.
Two years later, Tobey is released on parole and he sets out to avenge Little Pete's death. He is able to borrow the Shelby Mustang he had worked on from Julia. Tobey and Julia set to enter the De Leon, a winner-take-all race organized by local DJ Monarch; for this, they have to reach San Francisco before the race starts in two days. The Shelby Mustang causes an interstate chase with police and other racers, as Dino offers his rare Lamborghini Sesto Elemento to anyone who can stop Tobey from entering the race, which prompts a huge number of street racers trying to kill Tobey.
In Utah, the Shelby Mustang is forced off-road by a couple of trucks that surround it by a cliff, who are also for Dino's prize, but Maverick, a member of Tobey's crew, appears in a helicopter he stole from the National Guard and tows the Shelby Mustang mid-air to the Bonneville Salt Flats, where Tobey's crew awaits them. Maverick is arrested by the military for stealing the helicopter.
After a long drive Tobey and Julia manage to arrive in San Francisco to register for the race, but Julia is hospitalized after a truck driven by one of Dino's henchmen broadsides the Shelby Mustang. Meanwhile, Anita, Dino's girlfriend and Little Pete's sister, has become aware of Dino's plans. She searches his computer and discovers the Koenigsegg who driven by Dino killed Little Pete is stored in a local warehouse. Anita gives Tobey the location of the car, as well as her engagement ring from Dino and tells him to inform Dino that she is through with him for killing her brother. Tobey takes the Koenigsegg since the Mustang is totaled.
The next morning, Tobey surprised Dino by not only showing up in the Koenigsegg, but also by giving him Anita's ring. Following a grueling race where several cars eliminated, Tobey and Dino race side-by-side along the Pacific Coast Highway. Dino attempts to push Tobey off the road, but Tobey slams the brakes, causing Dino's car to crash and catch fire. Tobey sees the finish line, but turns around to pull Dino from the flames. After rescuing his adversary, Tobey does finish and win the race, but then both he and Dino are arrested by the California Highway Patrol. With the missing Koenigsegg found, as a proof of Little Pete's death, Dino is sent to jail. Tobey serves six months in prison for illegal street racing before he is once again released and reunites with Julia in a 2015 Ford Mustang. The film ends as the couple heads to Utah to the military prison where Maverick is getting released early for good behavior.

Principal photography began in Macon, Georgia, in mid-April 2013.[16] Other filming locations include Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, on May 12, 2013,[17] the 13th Street Bridge in Columbus, Georgia, and Campus Martius in Detroit, Michigan, beginning on June 1, 2013.[18][19] Other production locations include sections of California's Highway 1 north of Point Arena, CA, the Point Arena Lighthouse, and Highway 253 between Booneville, CA and Ukiah, CA.
For the film's chase sequences, the filmmakers decided against the use of computer-generated imagery, instead employing practical effects, which required the cast to receive extensive driving lessons.[14][20] For the final race sequences and the car crashes the production unit used propped supercars.

Need for Speed has earned $40,839,000 in North America and $143,700,000 in other countries, as of April 7, 2014, for a worldwide total of $184,539,000.[3] In North Amerca, it topped the box office with $6.66 million on its opening Friday, March 14, 2014.[25] However, the film finished in third place over the three-day weekend (Friday-to-Sunday) with $17.8 million.[26][27] Outside North America, the film debuted in first place with $45.6 million on the same weekend as its North America release.[28] It remained in first place for a second weekend.[29] Overall, the film's largest territory is China, where both the film's opening weekend ($21.1 million)[30] and its total earnings ($59.6 million)[31] are higher than in North America.

Critical response[edit]
Need for Speed received mostly negative reviews from critics and a mixed response from audiences. The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 23% of critics gave the film a positive review based on 143 reviews, with an average score of 4.3/10, though 69% of users gave the film a positive review; the site's consensus states: "With stock characters and a preposterous plot, this noisily diverting video game adaptation fulfills a Need for Speed and little else."[33]On Metacritic, it holds a 40/100 based on 37 reviews, indicating mixed or average reviews, while with users it holds a 7.2 out of 10.[34]
Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, remarking that "Paul has talent, though the actor's idea of simmering intensity in the context of Need for Speed comes off more like serial killer in the making. Cooper, by contrast, seems to be having some fun playing a dashing, dastardly, sexy beast." Philips added, "At its occasional best, the thrills in the film recall the delirious fun of the Fast & Furious franchise."[35] Betsy Sharkey of Los Angeles Times felt similarly, writing "In trying for the vicarious varoom of the street-racing video game that inspired it, and no doubt dreaming of Fast success, Speed clocks in at a long two-plus hours and falls painfully short."[36] Jason Torchinsky of the automotive blog Jalopnik decried the movie for insulting gearheads with its far-reaching suspension of disbelief on many plot points and tropes, and "spoiled" the ending of the movie by stating it was nothing more than a glorified car commercial for the 2015 Ford Mustang.[37]
A.O. Scott of The New York Times gave a more positive review, praising the film's car chase sequences, while declaring the overall film "an energetic, unpretentious B movie".[38]
