The final moments saw Dom in a desperate attempt to defend his son, a story line that struck a chord with audiences worldwide due to its deeply raw emotional intensity.
Dante’s distinct wickedness sets the stage for an explosive ending.

Jakob’s sacrifice in Fast X added layers of sadness and sensitivity towards the final fight, ensuring that it is both action-packed and emotional.

In fact, it also serves as aa tribute to the supporters who have been there from the start. It represents a return to everything that made The Fast and the Furious a cultural phenomenon: gritty street racing, tight-knit friendships, and a solid sense of loyalty.
