Driven
Director: Nick Hamm
Year: 2018
California ‘77: playground of the rich and famous, sun-soaked, sex-crazed and powered by shitloads of Colombian cocaine. Leading the parade is maverick auto-designer John DeLorean, a high-risk gambler and corporate vampire. Blinded by ambition, even if that means selling his soul, DeLorean will stop at nothing to design the ultimate car of the future, a sports car with wings.<br /> On the outside looking in is DeLorean’s neighbour Jim Hoffman, barely supporting his family while living high-end on the pay of a low-end bullshit artist. When busted by the feds with a planeload of drugs, Jim is forced to turn snitch by Special Agent Benedict Tisa. His ultimatum: deliver the head of John DeLorean.<br /> A turbo-charged tale of ambition, entrapment and betrayal based on a true story of sting operations and lurid celebrity scandals.<br /> Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2018 - Special Presentations
