Story of Furious 7 Movie
After
defeating Owen Shaw and his crew and securing amnesty for their past crimes,
Dominic "Dom" Toretto, Brian O'Conner, and the rest of their team
have returned to the United States to live normal lives again. Brian begins to
accustom himself to life as a father, while Dom tries to help Letty Ortiz
regain her memories. Meanwhile, Owen's older brother, Deckard Shaw, breaks into
the secure hospital the comatose Owen is being held in and swears vengeance
against Dom, before breaking into Luke Hobbs' DSS office to extract profiles of
Dom's crew. After revealing his identity, Shaw engages Hobbs in a fight, and
escapes when he detonates a bomb that severely injures Hobbs. Dom later learns
from his sister Mia that she is pregnant again and convinces her to tell Brian.
However, a bomb, disguised in a package sent from Tokyo, explodes and destroys
the Toretto house just seconds after Han, a member of their team, is killed by
Shaw in Tokyo. Dom later visits Hobbs in a hospital, where he learns that Shaw
is a rogue special forces assassin seeking to avenge his brother. Dom then
travels to Tokyo to claim Han's body, where he meets and races Sean Boswell, a
friend of Han's, who gives him personal items found at Han's crash site.
Back at Han's
funeral in Los Angeles, Dom notices a car observing and chases after the
vehicle, driven by Shaw. Both prepare to fight, but Shaw slips away when a
covert ops team arrives, led by Frank Letty. Letty says that he will assist Dom
in stopping Shaw if he helps him obtain the God's Eye, a computer program that
uses digital devices to track down a person, and save its creator, a hacker
named Ramsey, from a mercenary named Jakande. Dom, Brian, Letty, Roman Pearce,
and Tej Parker then airdrop their cars over the Caucasus Mountains in
Azerbaijan, ambush Jakande's convoy, and rescue Ramsey. The team then heads to
Abu Dhabi, where a billionaire has acquired the flash drive containing the
God's Eye, and manages to steal it from the owner's Lykan HyperSport. With the
God's Eye near telecommunications repeaters, the team manages to track down
Shaw, who is waiting at a remote factory. Dom, Brian, Letty and his team
attempt to capture Shaw, but are ambushed by Jakande and his militants, and
they are forced to flee while Jakande obtains the God's Eye. At his own
request, Letty is then left to be evacuated by helicopter. Left with no other
choice, the team decides to return to Los Angeles to fight Shaw, Jakande and
his men on their home turf. Meanwhile, Brian promises Mia that once they deal
with Shaw, he'll dedicate himself to their family full-time.
While Jakande
pursues Brian and the rest of the team with a stealth helicopter and a drone,
Ramsey attempts to hack into the God's Eye while sharing her mobile between
their vehicles. Hobbs, seeing the team in trouble, breaks out of hospital and
destroys the drone. Ramsey then regains control of the God's Eye and shuts it
down. Meanwhile, Dom and Shaw engage in a one-on-one brawl on a parking garage,
before Jakande intervenes and attacks them both, and Shaw is defeated when part
of the parking garage collapses beneath him. Dom then launches his vehicle at
Jakande's helicopter, tossing Shaw's bag of grenades onto its skids, before
injuring himself when his car lands and crashes. Hobbs then shoots the bag of
grenades from ground level, destroying the helicopter and killing Jakande. When
Dom remains unconscious, the team fears that he is dead. As Letty cradles Dom's
body in her arms, she reveals that she has regained her memories, and that she
remembers their wedding. Dom regains consciousness soon after, remarking,
"It's about time".
Later, Shaw is
taken into custody by Hobbs and locked away in a secret, high-security prison.
Meanwhile, at a beach, Brian and Mia play with their son while Dom, Letty,
Roman, Tej and Ramsey observe, acknowledging that Brian is better off retired
with his family. Dom silently leaves, but Brian catches up with him at a
crossroad. As Dom remembers the times that he had with Brian, they bid each
other farewell and drive off in separate directions.
