Drive is a 2011 American neo-noircrime film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and written by Hossein Amini, based on the 2005 novel by James Sallis. It stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac and Albert Brooks.
The film is about an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver. After he becomes attracted to a female neighbor whose husband owes money to local gangsters, he is drawn deeper into a dangerous underworld. Prior to its September 2011 release, Drive had been shown at a number of film festivals, including the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it was praised and received a standing ovation, and Winding Refn won the festival's Best Director Award. Reviews from critics were positive, and many drew comparisons to work from previous eras. The film was nominated for Best Film and Best Direction at the 65th British Academy Film Awards and Best Supporting Actor for Brooks' performance at the 69th Golden Globe Awards.
