The Transporter was an action/thriller/crime movie that was released (USA) on October 11, 2002. It was directed by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen. The Transporter starred Jason Statham as Frank Martin (who did most of his own stunts in the movie), and Shu Qi as Lai.
A sequel, Transporter 2 was released (USA) in September 2, 2005. The Transporter was released in the English, French and Mandarin languages.
The Plot
Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter", who moves goods - human or otherwise - from one place to another. No questions asked.
Carrying out mysterious and sometimes dangerous tasks in his black, tricked out BMW 735, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks: "never change the deal", "no names", "never open the package".
Frank's newest 'transport' seems no different from the countless ones he's done in the past. He has been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery, but when Frank stops along route, he notices his "package" is moving. Violating one of his own rules, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful, gagged woman.
Frank's steadfast adherence to his other two rules - which make up his basic code of survival - also quickly falls, hurtling him and his new companion on a road leading to shocking secrets, deadly complications, and the last thing Frank ever expected to come to believe: rules are made to be broken.
