Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America's Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is a 2019 American action film directed by David Leitch and written by Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce, from a story by Morgan. It is the 9th installment and a spin-off of The Fast and the Furious franchise centered around the titular Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, characters introduced in the main series. Starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as Hobbs and Shaw respectively, the film follows the unlikely allies who are forced to team up against a greater threat who is threatening the world with a deadly virus. Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, and Helen Mirren also star.

Series star and producer Vin Diesel first said in 2015 that possible spin-offs were in early development, and Hobbs & Shaw was officially announced in October 2017. Leitch signed on to direct in April 2018, and Kirby and Elba both joined the cast that July. Filming began in September and lasted through January 2019, mostly taking place in London and Glasgow.

Hobbs & Shaw premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on July 13, 2019 and was theatrically released in the United States on August 2, 2019. SyFy Wire wrote that reviews for the film were "mostly positive", with praise for "the charisma of Johnson, Statham, and Kirby" as well as the "visual style and action choreography.

Get ready for an amazing action pacted Fast & Furious movie you have ever seen. Excellent acting performances. Great CGI effects, great new action choreography of characters & good storytelling.

It starts out intense and builds to a crescendo to very last minute of the film. The chase scenes are over the top and the pace of the movie was spot on. Don’t know why the critics were so hard on the movie, I was thoroughly entertained and loved every minute of it (but I am a Fast & Furious junkie).

Thank you! Fast & Furious franchise for making a great movie. Be sure and see it on the IMAX screen, it was made for IMAX picture and sound…….don’t miss it!!
