What It's About: Impossibly skilled getaway driver Baby (Ansel Elgort) wants to quit the crime business and start a new life with his waitress girlfriend Deborah (Lily James), but when a heist goes wrong, Baby finds himself under the thumb of powerful kingpin Doc (Kevin Spacey).

Why It Might Save Hollywood: Edgar Wright serves up something special every time he makes a movie, and his latest looks set to remind audiences that action films can tout the mile-a-minute thrills of the Fast and the Furious franchise without a bloated budget tons of CGI.

Early reviews from SXSW have deemed the film an instant action classic and one of Wright's best films to date, so don't be surprised if it easily outdoes its far more expensive summer blockbuster brothers.
