Description of this Drive Poster
Drive is a 2011 American action film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. The screenplay, written by Hossein Amini, is based on the 2005 novel of the same name by James Sallis. The film stars Ryan Gosling as an anonymous Hollywood stuntman moonlighting as a getaway driver. He quickly develops a crush on his neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan), and her young son, Benicio. When her debt-ridden husband, Standard (Oscar Isaac), is released from prison, the two become involved in a botched million-dollar heist that endangers the lives of everyone involved. The film stars Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, and Albert Brooks.
Producers Marc Platt and Adam Siegel optioned the source novel after Siegel read a Publishers Weekly review. Adapting the book proved challenging for Amini because the narrative is nonlinear. Gosling, one of Platt’s first casting choices, ultimately signed on for the lead role, as he wanted to star in an action-oriented project. Gosling played a central role in the film’s production, including hiring Refn as director and Beth Mickle as production designer. Newton Thomas Sigel oversaw principal photography, which began on September 25, 2010, was filmed in various parts of Los Angeles, and wrapped on November 12.
Prior to its September 2011 release, Drive was shown at several film festivals, including the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation. Refn won the festival’s Best Director award. The film was praised for its direction, cinematography, performances (particularly those of Gosling and Brooks), visuals, action sequences, and musical score; However, some critics were dismayed by its graphic violence and felt it could harm the film’s box office success. Nevertheless, the film was a commercial success, grossing $81 million on a production budget of $15 million. Several critics ranked Drive among the best films of 2011, including the National Board of Review. It was notably nominated for Best Sound Editing at the 84th Academy Awards. The film is considered a cult classic.
A man (named “Driver”) works as a mechanic, stunt double, stuntman, and getaway driver for a criminal in Los Angeles, California. His jobs are all handled by auto repair shop owner Shannon, who persuades Jewish mobster Bernie Rose and his half-Italian partner Nino “Izzy” Paolozzi to buy a car for the driver to race. Driver meets his new neighbor, Irene, and becomes close to her and her young son, Benicio. Their relationship is interrupted when Irene’s husband, Standard Gabriel, arrives after his release from prison. He is assaulted by an Albanian gangster, Chris Cook, who asks him to rob a pawnshop for $40,000 to pay off his debt, and threatens to harm Benicio and Irene. Upon learning of this, the chauffeur offers to serve as the getaway driver for the pawnshop robbery. While the chauffeur waits outside the pawnshop with Blanche, Cook’s accomplice, the shop owner kills Standard. The chauffeur and Blanche are then chased by another car. The chauffeur hides with Blanche in a motel where he learns that the pawnshop claims Standard is the only culprit and that no money was stolen. He threatens Blanche when she lies about not seeing the second car. She admits that the bag contains a million dollars and that she and Cook intended to steal the money using the car that was chasing them. While Blanche is in the bathroom, she is shot dead with a shotgun by one of Cook’s henchmen. The driver fatally stabs the shooter before killing another with the shotgun.
At the garage, Shannon offers to hide the money, but the driver refuses. He finds Cook at a strip club and threatens to kill him. Cook reveals that Nino is behind the robbery. The driver calls him and offers to return the money in exchange for him being off the case. Nino rejects his offer and sends a hitman to the driver and Irene’s apartment building. The driver tells an angry Irene about his involvement in her husband’s death. When the couple enters the elevator, the driver notices the hitman. He kisses Irene, then brutally knocks her unconscious, horrifying Irene. Knowing that someone must have leaked the driver’s location for Nino to know his address, the driver confronts Shannon, who reveals that he called Bernie to tell him about the money, thus unintentionally mentioning Irene. Enraged, the driver tells Shannon to run, warning her that Nino will be sure to hunt them both down.
At his pizzeria, Nino reveals to Bernie that a Philadelphia mobster belonging to the “East Coast Italian Mafia” hid the money at the pawn shop and plans to use it to set up a new operation. Since anyone connected to the heist could lead the East Coast Italian Mafia to them, they must kill everyone involved. He convinces Bernie to go along with his plan. Bernie murders Cook, who is the only witness to their agreement. After Shannon refuses to divulge the driver’s whereabouts at the auto shop, Bernie slices his forearm with a razor, killing him.
Furious and anguished to find Shannon’s corpse at the garage, the Driver disguises himself with a rubber stuntman’s mask, follows Nino from the pizzeria to the Pacific Coast Highway, and crashes his car onto a beach. The Driver chases Nino to the ocean and drowns him. He calls Irene and tells her he won’t be coming back, also letting her know that she and Benicio were the best part of his life. The Driver meets Bernie, who promises that Irene will be safe in exchange for the money. After giving him the money, Bernie stabs him in the stomach before the Driver pulls out his own knife and stabs Bernie to death. The Driver manages to escape, while Bernie’s corpse lies in the parking lot next to the money. Irene knocks on the driver’s apartment door and leaves when no one answers. Although seriously injured, the driver drives off into the night.
