Spoilers for all The Fast and the Furious movies preceding this one, including The Fate of the Furious will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!F9 (also known as F9: The Fast Saga and Fast & Furious 9) is the tenth film in The Fast and the Furious series (coming after Hobbs & Shaw), though ninth chronologically.Some time after the events of The Fate of the Furious, Mr. Nobody managed to capture Cipher, but his plane was shot down en route to transfer her to prison. The Family rides to his aid, with Dom specifically coming out of retirement when he learns that his younger brother, Jakob (John Cena) is involved. Jakob and his associates are going after a device called the Ares that has been split up and can cause catastrophic consequences if it falls into the wrong hands.What follows is a personal feud between the Toretto brothers as the Family tries to get the pieces of the Ares before he does, but of course things aren't so cut and dry.The movie was due to release April 2020 but was pushed back due to the COVID-19 Pandemic going into full swing across the globe at that point. The film was later released internationally in April 2021 and in the U.S. on June 25, 2021. A tenth film was released on May 19, 2023.Previews: Trailer 1, Super Bowl TV spot, Trailer 2.

comment
Genre Savvy: Roman notices that, no matter what crazy stuff happens to the family, they always emerge unscathed and begins wondering if they're invincible. When the electromagnets meant to destroy the Ares satellite fail, he decides to just ram the satellite with their car and hope for the best, since they've always made it out before. He's proven right; they happen to drift in range of a space station that picks them up.

Never Trust a Trailer: When Roman and Tej approach the farm where Dom and Letty are hiding out, Roman tells them "We thought you could use some love" in the trailer and "We come in peace" in the film. The trailer shows Roman and Tej in the Fiero screaming in terror as it rockets down the runway. The car is actually unoccupied and remote controlled when it rockets down the runway. Roman and Tej don't actually get inside until they use it to go into space.

The Cameo: Cardi B appears as an acquaintance of Dom's who gets him out of a tight spot. Mr. Nobody also makes a few short appearances over video and flashback. Queenie Shaw also appears for a scene, after appearing in Fate of the Furious and Hobbs and Shaw. Brian O'Conner's car appears driving up to the Toretto residence as the final shot of the film proper. The screen cuts to black before the driver, possibly Brian, can open a car door, though. Deckard Shaw appears in The Stinger, being confronted by Han.

Chekhov's Gun
 F9 / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The cast takes and tests out a giant electromagnet back to base, which was used by Jakob as a scrambler against surveillance in Edinburgh. It would be later used for escape from Otto's army when they raided the base and installed in their cars in the final act. When Roman worries about his rocket car exploding, the ground crew mentions that the car is covered by a fireproof ceramic shell. This is what allows them to survive ramming the satellite later.

Brutal Honesty: After tiring of hearing Dom disparage him, Jakob reveals that their father dying in an accident was the result of promising to throw a race in exchange for a payout. He adds that he kept this a secret for so long because their father didn't want to ruin Dom's view of him and he would never agree to it.

comment
Batman Gambit: A lot of Jakob's plans throughout rely on this. He knew Dom would find his way to the estate and manipulates things to get Dom arrested by Interpol and out of his way. Jakob also already had a plan to get the key needed for the Ares Device that would culminate in them taking him back to their base of operations, which he knew they would find and use. This allowed him to take over the base, escape from where he was being held, and leaving with the key.

Happily Adopted: Brian Jr. is clearly happy to live under Letty. Her decision to return back to action is because she wants her stepson to be able to live without having to fear for his life all the time. Han has been the father figure to Ellie, a girl whose parents were killed by intruders while he was stealing their work on behalf of Mister Nobody, and the two are clearly attached to each other.

comment
Happy Ending Override: Since the previous film's ending, Dom and Letty have been living in a quiet countryside with no access to telephone or internet. They have to be alert at all times because Cipher is still gunning for them. They are also somewhat estranged from the rest of the team, as Dom no longer wants to take part in their missions, at least at first. Letty is rather miserable about living a peaceful life, as she misses being in on the action.

Dismantled MacGuffin: Project Ares is capable of granting its user complete control of all computer networks within its activation range, and could theoretically allow someone to control global networks if it was uploaded to a satellite. It was dismantled into two parts and hidden in separate locations around the world, as well as the unknown 'third component' of a key that is actually the daughter of the scientists who created it, as the device is encoded to her parents' DNA.

Conveniently Empty Roads: Played straight in the climax, where Dom manages to successfully steer an upside-down armored truck onto a cliffside road just outside Tbilisi. Upon re-righting it, he drives it along the highway. There are no other cars using this road, which is a good thing because Dom next jack-knifes the truck and spins it around in order to use it like a whip to bring down an attacking remote-control drone plane with a UAV.

Foreshadowing: The race driver who pitted Jack complains that Jack's reaction to the maneuver was entirely wrong for the situation and made the wreck worse than it should have been. Jack was looking for an excuse to throw the race, so he allowed the wreck to happen.

Continuity Nod: The Toretto house in Los Angeles is still being rebuilt since it was blown up by Deckard in Furious 7. In the ending, Sean, Twinkie, and Earl share a heartfelt reunion with Han. After all, they were the first people the audience saw interact with him back in Tokyo Drift, with Sean being a witness to his supposed death.

Motive Misidentification: Dom assumes Jakob caused their father's crash out of jealousy of being in his shadow. Jacob reveals that his dad had asked him to sabotage the engine because he was going to throw the race for a big payday. What neither man realized was the alterations would cause an explosion.

Dramatic Irony
 F9 / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: The tragedy about the Toretto brothers is further highlighted near the end of the film, which shows the immediate aftermath of the car crash that claimed their father's life. Dom approached a grieving Jakob and promised him that they would carry on, because they are family and family sticks together. This contrasts with Dom's treatment of Jakob after he found out about his role in the car crash, as he basically urged Jakob to get lost. Evidently, Jakob became vengeful against Dom because to him, he didn't keep his promise.

Retcon: In Furious 7, Mr. Nobody enlists Dom and his team to take down Deckard Shaw because of the latter's personal revenge mission against them. In F9, it's revealed that Jakob, one of Nobody's former agents, went rogue around this time, and Shaw's rampage was a convenient excuse for Nobody to pit Dom against his brother. Shaw's vendetta against Dom also provided an opportunity for Mr. Nobody to fake Han's death.

Forgotten Fallen Friend
 F9 / int_b901ef97
comment
Forgotten Fallen Friend Averted. Despite years having passed since the last film, Roman explicitly brings up Elena's death to make Dom reconsider about joining the operation to rescue Mr. Nobody. Meanwhile, not only Han still carries a torch for Gisele, he faked his death and became a secret agent for Mr. Nobody because the latter trusted Gisele, and she trusted Han. On a meta level, Han's miraculous recovery in this film is likely a response to the apparent usage of this trope in regards to the previous film's rehabilitation of Deckard Shaw, despite the latter being responsible for his death.

Hollywood Genetics: Lampshaded as many openly discuss how odd it is that Dom can have a brother looking so different. Cipher notes she's heard the Torettos had "mixed blood" and "I didn't expect some Nordic in there."note For the record, John Cena isn't Nordic, but of Italian, English, and French-Canadian ancestry Magdalene notes how Jakob reminded her of Dom and "don't tell me he's a cousin." When Dom says he's his brother, she reacts in amazement.

Artistic License – Physics
 F9 / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Artistic license, the movie could be an alternate title, with a number of wild stunts in the movie. Whether this is good or bad is up to you. Some examples: In Central America, a car rolling on the ground keeps up with a (fast) car under engine power, and rolls quite a distance instead of just a few rolls and stopping. Driving up a collapsing rope bridge is almost certainly impossible as the movie shows. As is Dom's swing across the canyon. The electromagnets work absolutely nothing like reality. Besides the issues of Selective Magnetism, they can also be used to repel metal. Magnets only repel other magnets. the rockets are almost certainly too small to lift the car to orbit. The space car uses NOS as a boost. Nitrous oxide boosts a car engine mainly by decomposing and giving a higher fraction on oxygen in the air, allowing more fuel to be burned. The space car's rocket uses liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, which is a higher performing oxidizer than nitrous oxide due to not carrying extra nitrogen around, so adding nitrous would reduce the effectiveness of the rocket. Flipping the armored truck has a couple problems: The truck is probably heavy and would just compress instead of launching up when slowed, and the cars are pretty light to slow such a truck anyway. The truck slides upside down for a long distance, somehow maintaining its speed after being flipped.
