As one of the longest-running and most beloved movie franchises, the Fast and Furious series has transformed from its humble beginnings as a street racing saga into a blockbuster action phenomenon, amassing nearly $2 billion USD at the global box office. With twelve films under its belt—comprising nine mainline entries, one spinoff, and two shorts—the narrative has grown increasingly complex. With the latest installment, Fast X, now available for streaming on Amazon, we present this comprehensive guide to help you watch the Fast and Furious movies in chronological order.
At the end of this article, you'll also find a list that organizes the films by their release dates, offering an alternative viewing sequence. Note that we will not include the animated series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers in our listings, as it does not significantly contribute to the main storyline.

Fast and Furious Movies in Chronological Order
1. The Fast and the Furious (2001)
The journey begins with the inaugural film, The Fast and the Furious, released in 2001. This film introduces us to Paul Walker's undercover cop, Brian O'Conner, who infiltrates a crew of carjackers led by Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto. As Brian delves into the world of illegal street racing, he forms bonds with Dom and his sister, Mia Toretto (played by Jordan Brewster), which ultimately influence his decision to prioritize these relationships over his duty. Michelle Rodriguez also makes her debut as Letty Ortiz, Dom's love interest, setting the stage for the series' expansive universe.

2. The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious serves as a bridge, showing Brian O’Conner's journey from Los Angeles to Miami as he evades law enforcement. This six-minute short film, devoid of dialogue, features a series of races and is considered nonessential but adds context to Brian's story.
