A Hollywood stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver for hire operates on a strict code of professionalism — until a job goes wrong and he finds himself protecting a young woman (Carey Mulligan) and her son from dangerous criminals. Nicolas Winding Refn's sleek, neon-drenched neo-noir is a masterwork of mood and silence — a film of extraordinary visual precision and brutal, operatic violence, featuring one of cinema's great recent antihero performances and a peerless electronic score by Cliff Martinez.
