Speed

Speed, Jan de Bont's directorial debut, quickly became his most renowned work and a cinematic sensation. This action-packed movie earned numerous awards and nominations, solidifying its status as one of 1994's top-grossing films.

The plot centers around a menacing bomber, Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper), who aims to seize control of a city bus, number 2525, filled with unsuspecting passengers. Responding to this threat is police officer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves), who has previously encountered Payne.

A deadly challenge confronts Jack and the passengers: the bus is rigged with a bomb set to activate when its speed exceeds 50 km/h. The catch is dangerous—if the bus's speed drops below 50 km/h, the bomb will detonate. Amidst this tension, Jack finds an unexpected ally in Annie (Sandra Bullock), a brave passenger. Together, they navigate this high-speed crisis, striving to save the passengers and outwit Payne.
