Ryan Gosling stars as a driver in Nicolas Winding Refn’s action thriller Drive. Debuting in theaters on September 16, 2011, the R-rated drama also stars Carey Mulligan as a young woman who Gosling’s character is drawn to.
The cast also includes Oscar Isaac as Standard, Albert Brooks as Bernie Rose, Ron Perlman as Nino, Bryan Cranston as Shannon, and Christina Hendricks as Blanche.
Official Synopsis: Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day, and steering getaway vehicles for criminal operations by night. A loner by nature, Driver can’t help falling in love with his beautiful but vulnerable neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a young mother dragged into a dangerous criminal underworld by the return of ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).
After a heist operation intended to help Standard pay off protection money spins out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). When the gangsters reveal that they’re after more than the bag of money in his trunk—that they’re coming straight for Irene and her son—Driver is forced to shift gears and go on the offense.
