Frank Martin, a former highly decorated
special operations soldier, is a highly skilled driver for illicit jobs in southern
France who follows three strict rules: never change the deal, no names, and never open the package. In
Nice, Frank is hired as the getaway driver for three bank robbers, but they bring a fourth man. Explaining that the extra weight will affect his escape, Frank refuses to drive until the leader kills and abandons one of his men. After evading police in a chase, the leader offers more money to drive to
Avignon, but Frank declines; the robbers continue their escape in another car but are later foiled by amateur driving. Police inspector Tarconi pays a visit to Frank's secluded coastal house to question him about his car, seen at the scene, but Frank has disposed of all evidence. Frank is hired to deliver a package to Darren "Wall Street" Bettencourt. While changing a flat tire, he realizes it contains a person — a bound, gagged woman. She tries to escape, but Frank recaptures her and subdues two police officers who see them. He delivers her as promised, gets paid and accepts another assignment on the spot. Bettencourt instructs him to deliver a briefcase to an address in Grenoble. When he stops for refreshments, a bomb in the briefcase explodes. A vengeful Frank returns to Wall Street's villa, kills henchmen, and steals one of his cars. He finds "the package" in the back seat, so he takes her to his home, where she tells her name is Lai. Wall Street visits a survivor in the hospital and kills him after finding out Frank is alive. Tarconi questions Frank about his car bombing, which he claims was stolen; Lai supports his alibi, saying she's his girlfriend. Wall Street's men attack with
missiles and
automatic weapons, but Frank and Lai escape through an underwater passage to a safe house, where Lai seduces Frank. Later, while being questioned at the police station by Tarconi, Lai accesses his computer to find information on Wall Street. She reveals that he is a
human trafficker with other Chinese immigrants trapped in shipping containers, and Frank reluctantly agrees to help. They confront Wall Street at his office, where Lai's father, Mr. Kwai, is revealed to be his partner in crime. Tarconi arrives as Wall Street subdues Frank and accuses him of kidnapping Lai, and Frank is arrested. Tarconi suggests Frank pretend to be his hostage to escape the police. Frank finds a weapons stash at
Cassis, then tracks criminals to Marseille docks. After fighting off thugs at a bus depot, he escapes into the water, steals a car, and chases at dawn before it breaks down. He then hijacks a small airplane and parachutes onto the highway. After a lengthy fight on the moving trucks, Frank throws Wall Street onto the road, where he is crushed by the wheels, only to be held at gunpoint by Kwai. He marches Frank to the edge of a cliff, but Lai shoots her father to save Frank, as Tarconi and the police rescue the people from the containers. ==Cast==
