Hobbs & Shaw is a 2019 American action film directed by David Leitch and written by Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce. It is the first spin-off film in the Fast & Furious franchise, set after the events of The Fate of the Furious (2017). The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza González, Cliff Curtis, and Helen Mirren. In the film, the unlikely pairing of Luke Hobbs (Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Statham) join Deckard's sister Hattie Shaw (Kirby) to take down Brixton Lore (Elba), a cybernetically enhanced terrorist threatening the world with a deadly virus.
The film begins in London, where MI6 agent Hattie Shaw and her team are attempting to retrieve a programmable supervirus dubbed "Snowflake" from techno-terrorist organization Eteon. The team secures Snowflake, but is attacked by Brixton Lore, an ex-MI6 Agent turned Eteon operative with cybernetic implants that allow him to perform superhuman feats; Brixton kills all the agents except Hattie, who injects herself with the only dose of Snowflake before escaping. Brixton frames Hattie for killing her team and stealing Snowflake, forcing her to go on the run.
Hobbs and Shaw are both assigned to track down Hattie and bring her in. Hobbs is reluctant to work with Shaw, but they eventually agree to team up to protect Hattie and stop Brixton. The trio travels around the world, from London to Samoa, as they race to stop Brixton from unleashing Snowflake on the world.
Hobbs & Shaw was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $758 million worldwide against a production budget of $175 million. The film was praised for its action sequences, performances, and humor. A sequel is scheduled to be released in 2023.
