High school student Takumi (Jay Chou) delivers tofu in his father`s out-of-date Toyota AE86 every morning. The 18-year-old has routinely been delivery boy for the past five years, until his father asks him to drive his AE86 in a David and Goliath race against Night Kids EVO IV. An unexpected and glorious victory triggers the competitive spirit in him, and his overnight fame leads to breathtaking races, each one more perilous and exciting than the previous one.
