A former special-ops mercenary gets pulled back into a job he never signed up for in The Transporter Refueled, a 2015 action thriller set on the French Riviera.
What is The Transporter Refueled about?
Ed Skrein plays Frank Martin, a driver-for-hire whose reputation for asking no questions makes him useful to almost anyone with cargo and cash. That reputation puts him in the path of a femme fatale and her three partners, played by Loan Chabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatiana Pajkovic and Wenxia Yu, who are working their way toward revenge against a Russian crime boss with a long list of enemies. Ray Stevenson plays Frank's father, dragged into the plan alongside him, while Radivoje Bukvic and Noemie Lenoir round out a cast spread across the operation's opposing sides. What starts as a straightforward job for Frank turns into a series of car chases and confrontations across the south of France as the women's plan for revenge collides with his own rules about staying out of other people's fights.
