Drive is a 2011 American action drama film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and written by Hossein Amini, based on the 2005 novel Drive by James Sallis. The film stars Ryan Gosling as an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver moonlighting as a getaway driver, whose budding relationship with his neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her young son Benicio is interrupted by the sudden release of her husband Standard (Oscar Isaac) from prison. Debt-ridden, Standard hires him to take part in what turns out to be a botched, million-dollar heist that endangers their lives. Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, and Albert Brooks play supporting roles.[1] The film premiered on May 11 in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival,[2] before being released by FilmDistrict in American theaters on September 16.[3] Drive earned a worldwide total of $76.1 million on a production budget of $15 million.[4] The review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes surveyed 258 reviews and judged 92 percent to be positive.[5]
