Jack teams up with Annie Porter (played by Sandra Bullock), a civilian who ends up taking control of the bus. Together, they must navigate the busy streets of Los Angeles, maintaining the busβs speed and avoiding obstacles.
As they try to outsmart the bomber, played by Dennis Hopper, the stakes rise with each passing minute. Tension builds as the two race against time and work together to save the passengers.
The film became a massive hit, praised for its non-stop action, intense suspense, and memorable performances. Speed is considered a defining film of the action genre in the 90s.
