Drive

Drive follows a mysterious Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals, living by a strict personal code. When he falls for his neighbor Irene and becomes entangled with her husband's dangerous debts, he is forced into a violent confrontation with the criminal underworld. Nicolas Winding Refn's stylish neo-noir thriller blends art-house aesthetics with brutal tension, elevated by Ryan Gosling's iconic, largely silent performance.
