SPEED: A mad bomber (Dennis Hopper) is out for revenge against LAPD rookie cop Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves), who, with the help of his partner, Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels), foils the criminals' plot to extort money from the city by holding hostage an elevator full of people. He plants a bomb on a bus, set to arm itself when the vehicle hits 50 mph, and detonate if it drops below that speed. The hero, with the help of a beautiful passenger named Annie (Sandra Bullock), must defuse the explosive device before the bus runs out of gas.

Reviews
A taut, endlessly entertaining action spectacle. They really don't make them like this anymore.
An exhilarating thrill machine that goes from 0 to 50 in the opening minutes and never lets up.
Filled with plenty of chills and thrills; it speaks to the modern mania for velocity.
In each sequence is packed the sum thrills of a Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal starrer combined.
