Drive is a 2011 American neo-noir action thriller film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. The film stars Ryan Gosling as an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver. He becomes involved in a heist gone wrong and must protect his neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan), and her son from the criminals he's crossed.
The film received critical acclaim for its stylish direction, atmospheric score, and Gosling's understated performance. It was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Director award for Refn. Drive has since gained a cult following and is considered a modern classic of the genre.
