Blockbuster Futures, For the Family Mega Marathon: Fast, Furious, Full-Throttle

Genres:

Justin Lin supercharges the Fast films in his first of five directorial stints for the franchise, creating a beloved entry in the series with the introduction of fan-favorite character Han. You drift? You will after this one!

What better way to kick off our Blockbuster Futures conference than to highlight the global phenomenon that is the Fast & Furious Saga?! Each marathon day includes five films for $20, with day one and day two tickets sold separately.

Snacks, drinks in resealable/enclosed containers (there are no cupholders in the Cinema!), and finger foods that do not emit a strong odor will be allowed for this event. Alcohol, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and illicit drugs are prohibited at IU Cinema.

When convicted street racer Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) tries to start a new life on the other side of the world, his obsession with racing sets him on a collision course with the Japanese underworld. To survive, he will have to master drifting—a new style of racing where tricked-out cars slide through hairpin turns, defying gravity and death for the ultimate road rush. With more mind-blowing stunts and heart-pounding racing sequences than ever, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift puts you in the driver's seat. [104 min; action, crime, thriller; English, Japanese, Portuguese with English subtitles]

"... all Fast and Furious films deliver the goods to their spiraling core audience, Tokyo Drift is the best stand-alone film in the franchise." — Eddie Harrison, film-authority.com

"The opening half-hour may prove to be a disreputable classic of pedal-to-the-metal filmmaking." — Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

"Lin takes an established franchise and makes it surprisingly fresh and intriguing. The movie is not exactly Shogun when it comes to the subject of an American in Japan (nor, on the other hand, is it Lost in Translation). But it's more observant than we expect, and uses its Japanese locations to make the story about something more than fast cars." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
