Jack Traven, an LAPD cop on SWAT detail, and veteran SWAT officer Harry Temple thwart an extortionist-bomber's scheme for a $3 million ransom. As they corner the bomber, he flees and detonates a bomb vest, seemingly killing himself. Weeks later, Jack witnesses a mass transit city bus explode and nearby a pay phone rings. On the phone is that same bomber looking for vengeance and the money he's owed. He gives a personal challenge to Jack: a bomb is rigged on another city bus - if it slows down below 50 mph, it will explode - bad enough any day, but a nightmare in LA traffic. And that's just the beginning...
English
- a.k.a. The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down
German (Deutsch)
Ein Terrorist will drei Millionen Dollar erpressen, oder die zufälligen Geiseln in einem Fahrstuhl fallen 35 Stockwerke in die Tiefe. Doch Jack schafft das Unmögliche: Die Geiseln werden in letzter Sekunde gerettet und der Terrorist stirbt an seiner eigenen Bombe. – Scheinbar! Doch dieser überlebt und erklärt und Jack zu seinem speziellen Feind, dies erfährt der Cop mittels einer grausigen Botschaft: Vor seinen Augen lässt Bombenexperte Payne einen Linienbus explodieren. Doch das war erst der Auftakt! Payne platziert eine weitere, komplizierte Bombe in einen öffentlichen Bus. Die Bombe aktiviert sich selbsttätig, wenn das Fahrzeug schneller als 50 Meilen pro Stunde fährt und detoniert sofort, wenn diese Geschwindigkeit wieder unterschritten wird. Und Jack hat ihr Leben in der Hand. Als der Busfahrer verletzt wird, übernimmt Fahrgast Annie das Steuer. Doch wohin mit einem Bus, der nicht bremsen darf, in der Stadt der Staus?!
French (Français)
À Los Angeles, Howard Payne, terroriste psychopathe, prend en otage un ascenseur dans un immeuble d'affaires en échange d'une rançon. Deux inspecteurs, Jack Traven et Harry Temple, parviennent à déjouer les plans du terroriste et à libérer les otages. Quelque temps plus tard, Payne est bien décidé à prendre sa revanche. Il récidive en posant une bombe sous un bus qui explosera si celui-ci roule à moins de 80 km/h.
Italian (Italiano)
In un grattacielo un malvivente mina un ascensore perché vuole molti milioni di dollari per salvare coloro che l'ascensore trasporta. L'agente speciale Jack Traven e il collega Harry, esperto di esplosivi, intervengono e riescono a sventare il piano criminale. Irritato per l'insuccesso e per il premio conferito a Jack ed Harry, il malvivente mette una bomba su un autobus pubblico: il mezzo, superando le 50 miglia orarie, innesca un ordigno che esploderà, qualora l'autobus marciasse a velocità inferiore. Jack, avvertito dal folle, riesce a salire sull'automezzo che viene dirottato su un autostrada in costruzione, dopo che è stato consentito all'autista, ferito da un terrorista presente a bordo per caso, di essere trasbordato. Alla guida si pone una donna, Annie, che ha avuto dei guai per eccesso di velocità ma ora deve mettere a frutto tutte le sue qualità di pilota, soprattutto per superare una paurosa interruzione stradale.
Part of Speed Collection
Speed is a 1994 American action-thriller film directed by Jan de Bont. LAPD officer Jack Traven becomes the focus of a bomber and extortionist, retired Atlanta bomb squad sergeant Howard Payne. The film takes place in Los Angeles in 1993. In 1997, a sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control, was released. Sandra Bullock agreed to star again as Annie, for financial backing for another project, but Keanu Reeves declined the offer to return as Jack. As a result, Jason Patric was written into the story as Alex Shaw, Annie's new boyfriend, with her and Jack having broken up due to her worry about Jack's dangerous lifestyle. Willem Dafoe starred as the villain John Geiger, and Glenn Plummer (who played Reeves' carjacking victim) also cameos as a boat driver. The film is considered one of the worst sequels of all time.
