An Agency assignment sends Dom Toretto's crew to Rome to intercept a computer chip in transit. Dom and Letty remain behind with his son Brian while Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, Han Lue and Ramsey head for Rome. A wounded Cipher turns up at the house with a warning: Dante Reyes, son of the drug lord Hernan Reyes, has kidnapped the families of her crew to turn them against her, and blames Dom for the death of his father and the family's lost fortune. Little Nobody then tells Dom and Letty that the Agency ordered no operation in Rome, so Dante drew the team there. Dom, Letty and Little Nobody fly out to reach them.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Fast X (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Reports alleged that Lin clashed on set with Diesel, who purportedly arrived out of shape, was often late and did not remember his lines; the disagreement escalated until Lin shouted "This movie is not worth my mental health", and he reportedly forewent pay in the region of $10-20 million by leaving.
- With an estimated net production budget of $378.8 million, Fast X is the sixth-most expensive film ever made, with filming taking place in London, Rome, Turin, Lisbon and Los Angeles.
- Leterrier performed several uncredited rewrites to the entire screenplay on his initial travel to the set, and said he lacked sleep for the first four days he worked on the film.
- To create the flashback sequence, the filmmakers used dailies from Fast Five sourced from Universal's archival department for alternate takes and different angles, then composited the characters into that unused footage using motion control photography and CGI.
- In April 2023, Momoa revealed that he had personally contacted Jochen Zeitz, the CEO of Harley-Davidson, to secure six motorcycles for his character; he rides a Harley-Davidson Pan America modified with an upgraded exhaust system and extra shielding.
- Helen Mirren drew inspiration for Magdalene "Queenie" Ellmanson-Shaw, the leader of a female militia, from her aunt, who was also nicknamed Queenie, and from her own performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen.
- On June 6, it was reported that a stuntman had been injured in an accident after being hit by part of a car following an explosion.
SPOILER
As one of his early ideas, Leterrier considered having Jakob killed off because of the character's previous villainous role in F9; he felt the stakes of Jakob's death mattered to the story and concluded his arc, as it represented sacrifice to save Dom and Little B.
