Max
(Foxx) has lived a mundane life as a cab driver for twelve
years. The faces have come and gone from his rear-view mirror:
people and places he's long since forgotten--until tonight.
Vincent (Cruise) is a contract killer. When an off-shore narco-trafficking
cartel learns that they're about to be indicted by a federal
grand jury, they mount an operation to identify and kill the
key witness and the last stage is tonight. It is on this very
night that Vincent has arrived--and five bodies are supposed
to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max's taxicab,
and Max becomes collateral--an expendable person who's in
the wrong place at the wrong time. Through the night, Vincent
forces Max to drive him to each assigned destination. And
as the L.A.P.D. and F.B.I. race to intercept them, Max and
Vincent's survival become dependent on each other, in ways
neither would have imagined.
