The fifth installment to the mindless Fast and the Furious franchise zooms into theaters next spring. This time the adrenaline junkies (Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, and Ludacris) are joined by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (or Dwayne Johnson, for those who insist on seeing him as a real actor). The very thin plot goes as follows, in short: after Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) bust Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) out of custody, they are faced with the challenge of getting out of Rio de Janeiro unnoticed. They then call on their elite team of care racers to help them out of the jam. Hot on their tails is tough-as-nails federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) who will stop at nothing to blow their whole plan off course. Looking for some guilty fun? Fast Five races into theaters April 29, 20111.
