Hobbs is a loyal lawman. Shaw is a lawless outcast. Shaw has tried to assassinate Hobbs. Hobbs has sent Shaw to prison. Hobbs is American. Shaw is British. On the surface, these men are polar opposites with zero in common. But both operate by their own strict moral codes, even if those codes often put them in
opposition to each other, and they both respect the other, even if they’re damned if they’ll admit it.
And neither is one to walk away from a verbal or physical
confrontation. Ever since
Shaw attempted to kill Hobbs in Furious 7, the duo have
swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. Their verbal jabs - in and out of lock-up - eventually escalated into a no-holds-barred prison-wide brawl in
The Fate of the Furious.
They may not like each other, much less trust each other, but in
Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, these sworn
adversaries will have no choice but to partner up to stop an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever. No pressure.
