 Frank Martin is the best in the business. The ex-Special Forces operative hires himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods - human or otherwise. Very simply, he delivers…no questions asked.
Frank has relocated from the French Mediterranean to Miami, Florida, where as a favor to a friend, Frank is driving for the wealthy Billings family. There's very little that can surprise The Transporter, but young Jack Billings has done just that; Frank has unexpectedly bonded with Jack, age 6, whom he drives to and from school. But when Jack is kidnapped, Frank must use his battle-tested combat skills to retrieve the boy and thwart the kidnappers' master plan to release a virus that will kill anyone with whom it comes in contact.
When Twentieth Century Fox released "The Transporter" in October 2002, the film became a worldwide theatrical hit. Produced and co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Luc Besson, "The Transporter" became an even greater success on DVD. At the same time, the picture launched Jason Statham as Hollywood's newest action star, with Frank Martin becoming Statham's signature role.
Says Statham: "Everywhere I went, people would tell me how much they loved `The Transporter' and the character of Frank Martin. The Transporter is an especially important role for me because it's influenced my career more than any film I've done."
