Eight action films become one spectacular show. "Fast & Furious Live" is made for fans of the popular blockbusters.

Tires screeching, exhausts banging, the smell of petrol and burnt rubber: this is what it feels like when the eight-part action saga "Fast & Furious" is brought to life in an arena. "Fast & Furious Live" keeps viewers on the edge of their seats for two hours. The show features key scenes from the blockbuster series. It takes fans across the globe to the various locations of the films. Former "Top Gear" producer Rowland French recreates the popular films on a giant screen and brings 3D projections directly into the arena. Where the action happens with the stunt cars.


Memories of the first movie "The Fast and the Furious" quickly come flooding back. That's when three Honda Civics engage in a daring street fight with a truck. Of course, the show also includes the legendary quarter-mile race from the original blockbuster - staged in bright colors. The stunts in the chase with the stolen safe from "Fast Five" are spectacularly dangerous. Five Dodge Charger muscle cars engage in a breakneck race. The 3D effects are particularly impressive when the heroes from the eighth and latest film "The Fate and the Furious" take on a submarine. The scene feels as if the audience is right in the middle of it. Thanks to the two animators who guide us through "Fast & Furious Live", the audience always becomes an integral part of the show. Together with the crew, they build a car and play an action game.

At "Fast & Furious Live", fans get what they expect. They experience the stunts of the action saga up close and see their favorite cars live. In addition to the Dodge Charger, the main character Dom, the famous Flip Car and the tuned 95 Toyota Supra and Lamborghini Murcielago will also be there. The cars are only driven by the best of the best. Over 2,000 stuntmen have applied for the job on "Fast & Furious Live". An eleven-strong team of drivers then took up the challenge and underwent four months of training in preparation for the big live spectacle. The result? A fast-paced and furious arena show.
