Fast & Furious 6 (titled as Furious 6) is an American action film that was directed and written by Chris Morgan in 2013. It is the sequel to Fast Five(2011) and the sixth instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez star in the film. The film features Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner as the protagonists. They are offered amnesty in return for their past crimes.

It grossed $788.7 million worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2013, the then-fourth highest-grossing film distributed by Universal, and the then-highest grossing instalment in the franchise.
