LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
SPEED: A mad bomber (Dennis Hopper) is out for revenge against LAPD rookie cop Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves), who, with the help of his partner, Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels), foils the criminals' plot to extort money from the city by holding hostage an elevator full of people. He plants a bomb on a bus, set to arm itself when the vehicle hits 50 mph, and detonate if it drops below that speed. The hero, with the help of a beautiful passenger named Annie (Sandra Bullock), must defuse the explosive device before the bus runs out of gas. This fast-paced thriller received two Academy Awards for Best Sound and Best Sound Effects Editing, as well as a nomination for Best Film Editing.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
If you don't think Speed is the fastest-moving adventure film ever made, we challenge you to find a faster one. Keanu Reeves stars as an LA Bomb Squad specialist whose principal antagonist is elusive bomber-extortionist Dennis Hopper. Seeking vengeance after his latest ransom scheme is thwarted, Hopper presents a personal challenge to Reeves: A wired-for-destruction city bus, which will detonate if the speedometer drops below 50 MPH. Playing the reluctant civilian who is pressed into service as the bus' "substitute driver," leading lady Sandra Bullock became a major star in her own right. Once Speed gets to the meat of its story, the excitement never lets up not even after the boobytrapped bus is out of the picture. --- Hal Erickson

More than just a roller coaster of a movie, Speed might be one of the most action-packed movies ever made. Director Jan de Bont carves away time-consuming story conventions, instead jumping from set piece to set piece, explosion to explosion, at a pace that makes its precursors in the action genre seem slow and ponderous. For the most part, the actors in Speed wisely settle into their one-dimensional parts. Dennis Hopper is the obligatory psycho, and Keanu Reeves, the taciturn, straight-faced hero. The film's standout performance belongs to Sandra Bullock, who gives the proceedings a massive boost: Her charming smart-aleckiness fills the lulls (however brief) between action sequences. De Bont previously made his name as a cinematographer on the elaborate, frenetic Die Hard and Lethal Weapon 3; he would go on to direct Twister and the substandard Speed 2, which also starred Bullock. --- Brendon Hanley
