As a rival to the "Fast and Furious" film series, 'Need' has sold over 100 million copies of the eighteen games in the series, making it the most successful racing video game series in the world.
The film is said to be a fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the '70s.

The film will focus on street racer Paul, framed for the auto racing accident that takes his best friend's life who joins a New York-to-Los Angeles race to get revenge after his release from prison.
