While the Fast & Furious movies have always featured crazy car chases and adrenaline-filled action sequences, but the heart of the franchise can be summed up in simply one word, family.
That will be put to the test in the upcoming Fate of the Furious (which features a 3.20 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings), as Dom is forced to turn on his own thanks to the appearance of Cipher, played by Charlize Theron.
