''Need for Speed'' was released by Touchstone Pictures on March 14, 2014, in 3D, IMAX, and conventional theaters. Despite receiving generally negative reviews from critics, the film went on to earn $203.3 million at the worldwide box office. ==Plot== 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. Dino Brewster, Tobey's former rival, arrives at his garage in a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren with an offer to complete the build of a rare Ford Shelby Mustang worked on by the late Carroll 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. The completed Shelby Mustang is put up for auction at a party. Tobey and Dino meet Julia, an English car broker who agrees to pay $3 million if the car can go over 230 mph, as Tobey claims.Tobey volunteers to drive the car, but Dino objects and orders him not to. The next morning, without Dino's knowledge, Tobey gets the Mustang to reach 234 mph, leading Julia to purchase it for her client, Bill Ingram. Dino challenges Tobey and his partner Little Pete to a race when Little Pete makes a mocking jibe at Dino's inability to match Tobey's racing skills. The three race on the interstate in Dino's uncle's three illegally imported Koenigsegg Agera R. If Tobey wins, he gets Dino's 75% of the Mustang deal; if he loses, he gives up his 25%. As Tobey is winning the race, Dino tags Little Pete's car, flipping it into a ravine after 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 sets out to avenge Little Pete's death. He is able to borrow Ingram's Shelby Mustang to enter the De Leon, a winner-keeps-all-supercars race organized by radio DJ Monarch. Ingram requires Julia to accompany Tobey, and he will get half the cars if Tobey wins the race. They have to reach San Francisco before the race starts in two days, leading to 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. When Tobey and Julia reach Utah, they are forced to run off-road by a couple of trucks vying 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 later arrested by the military for theft of the helicopter. Tobey and Julia reach San Francisco in time to register for the race. Dino's henchman destroys the Shelby Mustang with a trailer truck, hospitalizing Julia, while a traumatized Tobey escapes with minor injuries. Anita, Dino's girlfriend and Little Pete's sister, has become aware of Dino's plans. She searches his computer and discovers the Koenigsegg Agera R, which Dino drove when Little Pete was killed, is stored in a San Francisco warehouse. Anita gives Tobey the location of the car, as well as her engagement ring from Dino, as she is through with Dino for killing her brother. The next morning, Tobey surprises Dino (competing in his Elemento) by showing up in the Koenigsegg and giving him Anita's ring. During the grueling race, the other four competitors – a GTA Spano, a Bugatti Veyron, a McLaren P1, and a Saleen S7 – are eliminated. Racing 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 completes the race win, just as the California Highway Patrol arrives to arrest them both. With the missing Koenigsegg found, Dino is sent to jail for the death of Little Pete. After Tobey serves six months for illegal street racing, Julia meets him at his release with a 2015 Ford Mustang. The couple heads to the prison in Utah where Maverick is being released early for good behavior. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Need for Speed (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
