"Drive" (2011) is a movie from breakout Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn ("The Pusher" Trilogy, "Bronson," "Valhalla Rising"), who throttles into the Hollywood fast lane with the precision-crafted action caper.
Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young
mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).
After a heist intended to pay off Standard's protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk—that they're coming straight for Irene and her son—Driver is forced to shift gears and go on offense.
The "Drive" (2011) cast includes Academy Award nominees Ryan Gosling ("The Notebook," "Half Nelson," "Blue Valentine") and Carey Mulligan ("An Education," "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps"), three-time Emmy Award winner Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"), Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman ("Sons of Anarchy"), Emmy nominee Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men"), Oscar Isaac ("Body of Lies," "Robin Hood") and Academy Award nominee Albert Brooks ("Broadcast News," "Taxi Driver").
"Drive" was written by Academy Award nominee Hossein Amini ("The Wings of the Dove") and adapted from the eponymous novel by James Sallis. It was produced by Marc Platt, Gigi Pritzker, Michel Litvak, Adam Siegel and John Palermo; executive producers are David Lancaster, Gary Michael Walters, Bill Lischak, Linda McDonough, and Peter Schlessel.
