First Look: Vin Diesel And Dwayne Johnson In 'Fast Five'

Here's your first look at Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson in Fast Five. Justin Lin returns to direct this installment, after making the last two films in the series. See a larger version of the photo after the break.

The image comes from USA Today, which also features an amusing quote from the director:

I think what keeps it going is that it's not really about cars. I have to be honest: I'm not a big car guy. At the core, Fast and Furious is about family and how to create them.

Still, Dwayne Johnson won't be driving a family minivan. Instead he'll be cruising in a Gurkha,  a giant armored military vehicle that scoffs and flimsy Hummers. He's Hobbs, a cop chasing Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, who went on the run at the end of the last film. Catch the full synopsis for what will hopefully be a more satisfying return to action for The Rock than Faster, after the pic.

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race.

Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail.

Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey...before someone else runs them down first.
