The story
Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom.
Fast Five recap
After breaking Dom out of the prison bus, Brian, Mia and Dom flee to Rio de Janeiro. A job stealing cars from a train goes wrong, and they learn the cars belong to Hernan Reyes, a corrupt businessman who controls the city. One car holds a chip with his ledger. Hunted by Reyes and by Luke Hobbs, a US agent sent after Dom, the team decides to steal all of Reyes's money and retire. Dom assembles a crew: Roman, Tej, Han, Gisele, Vince and Tego and Rico. Mia reveals she is pregnant with Brian's child. Reyes moves his money into a vault in a police station.
Fast Five ending explained
Reyes's men ambush Hobbs's team and kill Vince, and Hobbs joins Dom. The crew rips the vault out of the police station and drags it through Rio, swapping it for a decoy. Brian kills Reyes's enforcer and Hobbs kills Reyes. Hobbs gives the crew a 24-hour head start, and each member retires rich.
Post-credits scenes
Yes. In a mid-credits scene, Monica Fuentes gives Hobbs a file about a convoy robbery in Berlin, and a photo inside shows Letty alive.
