The story
Dominic Toretto and his crew battle the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered: his forsaken brother.
F9 recap
Dom and Letty are raising young Brian in the countryside when a plane carrying Mr. Nobody and the captive Cipher is shot down in Central America. The crew finds a piece of Project Aries, a device that can hack any weapons system on Earth, and Dom learns the man behind the attack is his estranged younger brother Jakob, a spy and assassin. Flashbacks show the brothers as young men, when their father died in a race crash that Dom blamed on Jakob. Han turns up alive, having faked his death with Mr. Nobody's help to protect a girl, Elle, whose DNA is the key to Aries. Jakob is working with Otis, a rich man's son, and Cipher.
F9 ending explained
Roman and Tej fly a rocket-powered car into orbit and destroy the Aries satellite. Otis turns on Jakob, who joins Dom, and Cipher escapes. Dom lets Jakob go. The family gathers for a barbecue, with a place set for Brian, and Brian's car pulls up.
