For Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his notorious high-speed heist crew, every sunrise brings another day, another dollar, and another gallon of gasoline to burn through on a fresh quarter mile of open road. The iconic Fast & Furious franchise, which started as a pulpy, gritty action movie about street racing and crime, has evolved into a globe-trotting phenomenon that spans amnesia-riddled, romance-driven revenge arcs; genocidal terrorist plots to foil; and gonzo vibes. In other words, it truly has something for everyone. Keep reading to see which Fast & Furious movies you can stream on Netflix.

When LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) receives an undercover assignment to infiltrate a crew of highway hijackers, it puts him on a high-octane collision course with destiny. Brian poses as a street racing fan and mechanic in order to ingratiate himself with Dominic Toretto’s (Vin Diesel) operation … which works a little too well. Soon, Brian is smoking scrubs in illegal street races, falling in love with Dom’s sister, and saving the lives of the very criminals he’s supposed to bring in. The Toretto family might be stealing, but now that Brian truly understands the meaning of “La Familia,” he can’t quite bring himself to break it up. When Brian lets Dom escape at the end of The Fast and the Furious, it cements an unbreakable bond between the two that powers the entire franchise.

Directed by John Singleton, the legendary filmmaker who gave us the Academy Award–nominated Boyz n the Hood (available on Netflix Sept. 1), 2 Fast 2 Furious follows ex-LAPD officer Brian, who’s now starting over in Miami, and still on the run from his former colleagues. Illegal street racing keeps Brian afloat until, one day, the Feds stitch him up. Brian’s forced to make the most serious — and ironic — choice of his life. Either he once again goes undercover to bust up a crime ring and clear his record, or he goes straight to jail. While Dom isn’t in the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious introduces Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as techie Tej Parker, a role that would become a staple in the franchise, and also stars Tyrese Gibson as Roman, Brian’s childhood friend and undercover accomplice.

While Tokyo Drift is often considered the odd man out of the Fast & Furious franchise — mainly because it doesn’t star Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, or any of the previously established crew — the third installment is pivotal for two reasons. First and foremost, Tokyo Drift is directed by Justin Lin (Star Trek Beyond), who defined the bombastic visual style of the franchise and would go on to direct five more Fast & Furious films. (Tokyo Drift is often lauded for truly embracing the rebellious roots of racing culture — a thread that’s eschewed in favor of bigger set pieces in some of the later movies.) And second, thanks to Lin working with Sung Kang on his critically acclaimed debut feature Better Luck Tomorrow, the franchise is blessed with the actor in the role of Han, a fan favorite character whose apparent death pits Dom’s crew against one of the series’ biggest villains later on in the franchise.

Picking up exactly where the previous film left off, Fast Five opens with Brian, Mia (Jordana Brewster), and the rest of the crew, aka La Familia, springing Dom from a prison transport so he can escape a life sentence. Officially on the run again, the crew lies low until they’re offered one last job that’s too big to resist. Unfortunately, while boosting DEA-impounded, cartel-owned luxury cars from a train, Dom and co. realize there’s too much heat coming down on their heads to make a clean getaway.
Fast Five introduces Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs, a mainstay in the Fast & Furious franchise, and Elsa Pataky as Elena Neves, Dom’s new love interest after Letty’s (Michelle Rodriguez) tragic death in Fast and Furious (the fourth installment of the franchise). An intriguing choice, as the post-credit scene in Fast Five shows Letty alive, well, and boosting military hardware on the other side of the world.

In Fast & Furious 6 (titled onscreen as Furious 6), DSS agent Hobbs investigates a series of hijackings he believes to be led by Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), a sinister arms dealer building a superweapon to sell America’s wealthiest enemies, only to find a disturbingly familiar face among his crew. Hobbs reaches out to Dom with the news that his first love, Letty, whom he thought was dead, is alive — but in the clutches of a man who’s gotten her caught up in a terrorist plot. Hobbs asks Dom to help him bring in Shaw, while offering to also help him save Letty. After all, Dom has some very important questions to ask her, such as: What happened in that car explosion all those years ago, and why don’t you recognize me now? A dramatic tale of two star-crossed lovers, Fast & Furious 6 features one of the most romantic and mind-boggling action sequences in cinematic history.

After helping Agent Hobbs defeat wannabe terrorist Owen Shaw, Dom and crew are enjoying their pardons and finally back home in Los Angeles after spending years on the run. But the peaceful life can’t last, and Owen’s brother is the reason why. When Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) hears that his brother was thrown off a plane by a bunch of street racers, he sets out to kill everything and everyone Dom loves. Paul Walker died in a car accident before completing the filming of Furious 7, and the film is most remembered for its touching finale tribute to his character Brian.

In this unexpected team-up focusing on two ancillary characters from the franchise, Agent Hobbs and the mercenary Deckard Shaw put aside their differences to stop a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier (played by Idris Elba), before he wipes out humanity with a biological weapon. Hobbs & Shaw also introduces Vanessa Kirby as Hattie Shaw, Deckhard and Owen’s sister, who is also an MI6 agent.

Fast & Furious Spy Racers may be the least familiar title in the franchise — but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s anything less than a complete banger. The animated half-hour children’s series follows Tony Toretto (voiced by Tyler Posey), Dom’s lil cousin, as he and his friends infiltrate a secret street racing circuit that deals in more than just fast cars. Consider Spy Racer a return to the franchise’s roots; it’s a perfect entry point for the next generation of La Familia to fall in love with Fast & Furious.
