(or Furious Seven) picks up with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew/family in Los Angeles, having left their lives as international law-breakers behind them. However, Letty's (Michelle Rodriguez) fractured memory makes it difficult for her and Dom to resume their old life together, while Brian (Paul Walker) is struggling to settle into his new life with Mia (Jordana Brewster) and their child.
These issues quickly wind up being placed on the back-burner when Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) - an extremely dangerous ex-special forces operative - enters the equation and starts to wreak havoc on Dom and his family for what they did to his younger brother, Owen (Luke Evans). The task of taking down Shaw is easier said than done, but Dom and the others soon find an unexpected ally in 'Mr. Nobody' (Kurt Russell) - a mysterious U.S. Government official who also wants Shaw out of the picture. Nobody' therefore makes a deal with our heroes: if they help him to recover a hacking device called the God's Eye (and prevent it from falling into the hands of mercenary terrorists), then he will allow them to use the device long enough to track down and finally capture Shaw.
