The first official trailer of the “The Fate of the Furious” is a high-octane thrill ride — and it’s only three minutes long! Destruction, betrayal, more destruction, unlikely alliances and yet more destruction are the names of the game in this first-look.

The “Fast” family is shattered after Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, backed by a mysterious terrorist (Charlize Theron), seemingly turns on his friends. With their backs against the wall, the family is forced to team up with one of their greatest enemies.

Starring a returning Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell — plus first time appearances by Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren and Scott Eastwood — “The Fate of the Furious” looks to be an all-out war.
