A nameless Hollywood stunt driver works nights as a getaway driver. When he becomes involved with his neighbor Irene and her young son, he is drawn into a dangerous scheme that reveals the violence beneath his quiet exterior.
In Drive, Refn refines his aesthetic into a sleek and hypnotic form. Neon-lit Los Angeles and electronic music create a dreamlike atmosphere, while sparse dialogue and suspended moments elevate the protagonist into myth. The film reimagines modern noir as a sensorial melodrama.
