Speed

You'll think twice about taking public transportation after watching this white-knuckle thrill ride through Los Angeles. Starring Keanu Reeves as a daredevil cop and Sandra Bullock as an innocent civilian pressed into service, "Speed" set the high-water mark for quick-talking, fast-moving action films in the '90s. The pair find themselves in the hands of a mad bomber who has wired the bus they are on to explode if the speedometer dips below 50 miles per hour. The tension is relentless as they desperatelysearch for a way to save the passengers, and themselves, from a fiery fate.
