Narrative Theory

The Fast and the Furious is a 2001 American-German street racing action film starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster and directed by Rob Cohen
Equilibrium:  LAPD officer Brian O'Conner
Disruption: he is sent undercover on a joint FBI-LAPD investigation to infiltrate the local L.A. illegal street racing scene
Recognition: Brian realises that Dominic is the hijacker and confesses to Mia his status as an undercover cop.
Restored order:  Brian and Dominic chase them, with Dom in his Charger. He forces Lance's motorcycle off the road, severely injuring him, while Brian, after a short chase, manages to shoot and kill Tran.
New Equilibrium: Dom assuming that he will be apprehended, but instead of arresting him, Brian hands over the keys to the Supra and lets him escape, making good on his promise to deliver a "ten-second car". Dom takes the car and drives away, and Brian walks away, knowing that he is now a fugitive.
