Synopsis: Baby is a young and partially hearing impaired getaway driver who can make any wild move while in motion with the right track playing. It's a critical talent he needs to survive his indentured servitude to the crime boss, Doc, who values his role in his meticulously planned robberies. However, just when Baby thinks he is finally free and clear to have his own life with his new girlfriend, Deborah, Doc coerces him back for another job. Now saddled with a crew of thugs too violently unstable to keep to Doc's plans, Baby finds himself and everything he cares for in terrible danger. To survive and escape the coming maelstrom, it will take all of Baby's skill, wits and daring, but even on the best track, can he make it when life is forcing him to face the music?

Yeah, oh.

I get it. It's early.

So you just starting your day

or did you just get off?

Oh, I don't know if I ever get off.

They call, I go, you know?

So, what is it you do?

I'm a driver.

Oh, like a...

Like a chauffeur.

You drive around

important people?

I guess I do.

Anyone I'd know?

I hope not.

Well, aren't you mysterious.

Maybe.

Maybe?

So, when was the last time

you hit the road just for fun?

Yesterday.

Oh, then I'm jealous.

Sometimes all I want to do

is head west on 20

in a car I can't afford

with a plan I don't have.

Just me, my music and the road.

I'd like that, too.

Oh.

Uh, so,

you decide on anything yet?

You are so beautiful.

You just decided that.

Oh, well, thank you.

I'm sure you don't mean it.

I do mean it.

Jonathan?

Oh, sorry.

You know, this isn't my badge.

I've only just

started here, so...

As a Jonathan?

Yeah. As a Jonathan.

Well, um, if you have any

more questions, just holler.

I have a question.

What's that song you're singing?

I approve.

Of the song?

Of the girl.

Oh, there you are.

I've been calling, baby.

You have?

I have.

My chicken just

laid a very big egg.

You in?

Am I in?

It was

a rhetorical question, baby.

You're in.

I'll be there.

Meet your new crew.

Over here is Eddie no nose,

formerly Eddie the nose.

Why, what happened?

Don't ask me that.

That's a no nose no-no,

page one.

And right here is JD.

He put the "Asian"

in home invasion.

And over there is

the one and the only bats.

No need for intros, doc.

Everybody from the jungle

to the trap know bats.

This your boy, right?

This the one you say listens

to the music all the time?

The driver's supposed

to be the eyes and the ears,

not just the eyes.

Why does he listen to music

all the time, doc?

- He's got mental problems?

- No, no, no, no.

I'm the one got the mental

problems in the crew.

Position taken.

He's got tinnitus.

Tinna-what?

He had an accident

when he was a kid.

He's still got a hum in the drum.

Plays music to drown it out.

Yeah, but you feel me.

Hat?

Huh?

Your tattoo says, "hat."

Yeah. It used to say "hate."

But to increase my chances of

employment, I got the "e" removed.

How's that working out for you?

Who doesn't like hats?

So, doc,

how many jobs

you done with the kid?

If you can't take

my word for him,

then get back in

that f***ing elevator.

You never heard of

the spirit of 85?

The joyrider?

Yeah.

The ghost that baited

cops doing 130 on 85.

Headlights off,

brake lights disconnected.

He drove 'em around in circles

on spaghetti junction.

Left 'em in the dust every time.

That was our boy there.

Wasn't that, like, 10 years ago?

Yeah.

Well, like I said,

Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English director, screenwriter and producer. He began making independent short films before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers (1995). Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the first film in the Three Flavours Cornetto, the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013), which Wright directed and also starred the pair. In 2010, Wright co-wrote, produced, and directed the comedy action film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he co-wrote Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. His latest film, the action comedy Baby Driver, was released in 2017. Wright has also directed numerous music videos, including The Bluetones' "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (2000), The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's "Psychosis Safari" (2002), Mint Royale's "Blue Song" (2002), Pharrell Williams' "Gust of Wind" (2014), and Beck’s "Colors" (2018). more…
