"Pop Quiz Hotshot! There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?"
A young police officer must prevent a bomb exploding aboard a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph.
Our thoughts
The start of Keanus journey to the action star he is today. Stone cold classic blockbuster fun action flick with an star-making turn from Sandra Bullock and a memorable villian in Dennis Hopper. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
★★★★★ We've seen this done before, but seldom so well, or at such a high pitch of energy. Chicago Sun Times
★★★★★ A canny mixture of delirium and restraint Entertainment Weekly
★★★★ The whole thing is utterly preposterous - but somehow Speed works. Empire
