Driven is a 2018 biographical crime thriller film directed by Nick Hamm. The film is based on the true story of automobile industry executive John DeLorean (played by Lee Pace), who is known for his work on the Pontiac GTO and the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car, which gained worldwide fame in the Back to the Future movies.
The movie focuses on DeLorean's involvement with FBI informant Jim Hoffman (played by Jason Sudeikis), who is working with the government to bust a cocaine trafficking ring. Hoffman, who is struggling with drug addiction and financial troubles, convinces DeLorean to invest $17 million in his latest business venture, which turns out to be a front for the drug smugglers.
As their relationship develops, Hoffman becomes increasingly concerned about his own safety and decides to work with the FBI to set up DeLorean in a sting operation. In a tense final act, DeLorean is caught on camera negotiating the purchase of cocaine, and is arrested and charged with drug trafficking.
Driven explores the complex relationships between power, ambition, and betrayal, and features strong performances from its lead actors. Despite mixed reviews, the film provides a compelling and entertaining look at one of the most infamous scandals in the automotive industry.
