Speed

A young FBI agent must prevent a bomb exploding by keeping a stolen police car above a certain speed. When the bomb is transferred to a bus, he must board the vehicle and protect its passengers while trying to outwit the bomber. The bomber, a disgruntled former police detective, has rigged the bus with a bomb that will detonate if the bus drops below 50 miles per hour.

Speed was a critical and commercial success, praised for its thrilling action sequences, fast-paced plot, and strong performances, particularly from Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper. It became one of the defining action films of the 1990s.
