The movie begins with Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) and Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) enjoying their honeymoon in Havana, Cuba. However, their peaceful time is interrupted when Dom is approached by a mysterious woman named Cipher (Charlize Theron). Cipher is a cyberterrorist with an agenda to obtain a series of powerful devices known as "God's Eye," which can control and manipulate technology to wreak havoc on a global scale.
Cipher reveals that she has captured Dom's former lame Elena and their son, using their safety as leverage to force Dom to work for her. Dom is forced to betray his team and steal an electromagnetic pulse device (EMP) in Berlin. This betrayal shocks his crew, including his best friend Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Ludacris), and others.
Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is also introduced, showing him in a soccer match and then being recruited to track down Dom and his team. He eventually crosses paths with the team and is arrested alongside them. The team learns about Dom's involvement with Cipher and her hold over him.
Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) offers the team a deal: they will be granted amnesty if they help retrieve the stolen EMP and capture Dom. They agree and are joined by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the antagonist from the previous film. Shaw's motivations have shifted, and he's now willing to help the team due to his personal vendetta against Cipher.
The team tracks Dom to New York City, where Cipher orchestrates the theft of a nuclear football—a device capable of launching nuclear missiles. As they work together to prevent the nuclear launch, they also manage to capture Dom and confront Cipher. Cipher manages to escape with the nuclear football, and the team is left with more questions about her motives.
They learn that Cipher plans to use the nuclear football to start a global war by launching missiles at major cities, causing chaos and establishing her control. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the team rallies together, and even Dom finds a way to break free from Cipher's control.
The climax of the movie takes place on an airplane runway in Russia, where the team faces off against Cipher and her heavily armed convoy. The team's ingenuity and teamwork help them take down Cipher's forces and prevent the missiles from being launched. In a dramatic final showdown, Dom and Cipher confront each other. Dom manages to outsmart Cipher and save his son and Elena.
The movie ends with Dom reuniting with his team, including Letty and his son. Deckard Shaw is given the opportunity to redeem himself, and he joins the team in their celebration. The film closes with the team reflecting on their adventures and reaffirming the importance of family.
