Los Angeles-set car chase thriller from Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn. Ryan Gosling stars as Driver, a Hollywood stunt performer who earns a bit extra working as a getaway driver for jewellery heists and bank robberies. But when a job involving the ex-con, soon-to-be-ex-husband (Oscar Isaac) of his pretty young neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan) goes horribly wrong, Driver ends up on the run with a bag of loot in the boot of his car and a pair of gangsters (Ron Perlman and Albert Brooks) hot on his tail.
