Ryan Gosling (BLUE VALENTINE) is a wheelman with no name in the sexiest and most stylish film of the year.
He's an enigmatic Hollywood stunt driver who picks up some extra cash as a late-night getaway driver, snaking through dimly lit LA backstreets in his cherished Chevy Malibu. Our lone protagonist's simple existence becomes more complex when he meets Irene (Mulligan, NEVER LET ME GO), a kind, gentle girl next door who reciprocates the driver's chivalrous advances.
They don't know it yet, but their burgeoning relationship is about to set in motion a series of explosive life-altering events. Based on James Sallis's novel of the same name, DRIVE is Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn’s (BRONSON) first major step into the big time.
