Fast & Furious 7 releases nationwide in theaters this weekend, and it's expected to rake in money at the box office. My colleague Alex Abad-Santos called it "perhaps the most fun I've had, and possibly will have, at the movies in 2015."
And though you probably don't need to see the first six movies to understand a bunch of cars exploding and chase scenes, you might want to at least catch up on their plots. To do that, you have two options: read our own Todd VanDerWerff's in-depth GIF-tastic explainer of all seven movies and how the franchise is built, or watch this fun 10-minute video that our friends at the Verge made.
And of course, if you're a true fan and have already seen all the movies, use this video to relive the hours of joy you've already experienced.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
