Nicolas Winding Refn may have the Logan’s Run remake in his future but we’re concerning ourselves with his Cannes contender Drive here.

He has bagged a great cast with Ryan Gosling taking the lead with Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks and Oscar Issac and all eyes will be on the director’s next move following the acclaimed Tom Hardy film Bronson and his cult favourite Pusher Trilogy.

We’ve already seen a brief clip from the film, which  has the intriguing premise of a Hollywood stunt driver moonlighting as a getaway driver. You can bet things don’t go too well.

Collider deserve all the praise for finding these images, the poster and this handy little synopsis if the title just isn’t enough to explain what we’ve got in store on the 23rd of September when the film makes it into cinemas over here.

Driver (RYAN GOSLING) is a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. Doesn’t matter what job he does, Driver is most comfortable behind the wheel of a car. Shannon (BRYAN CRANSTON) is part mentor, part manager for Driver. Since he knows what a great talent Driver is behind the wheel, he either peddles him to film and television directors in the entertainment business or thieves who need an accomplished getaway driver, taking a cut for his own pockets. Always looking to make a buck, Shannon’s current plan is funding a stock car that Driver can race on the professional circuit. Since Bernie Rose (ALBERT BROOKS) is the wealthiest guy he knows, even if the sources of his money are questionable, Shannon proposes he be their investor. After seeing Driver in action at the speedway, Bernie Rose insists Nino (RON PERLMAN) partners with them as well. Primarily a loner and ambivalent about the deals Shannon makes for him, Driver’s world changes the day he shares an elevator ride at his apartment building with Irene (CAREY MULLIGAN).

When he sees her again at the grocery store with her young son, Benicio (KADEN LEOS), he is transfixed, and willingly offers help when they are stranded in the parking lot because Irene’s car won’t start. Soon Driver settles into a routine of driving Irene to her waitress job and watching Benicio, entangled in their lives while her car is fixed. This interlude in Driver’s life abruptly stops when Standard (OSCAR ISAAC), Irene’s husband, is let out early from prison for good behavior. Even though nothing has happened between Driver and Irene, Standard is threatened by another man’s presence in his family’s life. Driver backs off, respectful of Irene’s desire to keep her family together, but when he finds Standard bloodied and lying in the garage with a scared Benicio standing next to his father, Driver is embroiled even further in Irene’s life. Then trouble begins…
