In Baby Driver, which filmmaker wrote and directed the 2017 heist film?

Edgar Wright wrote and directed the 2017 heist film Baby Driver.

Wright developed the film around the idea of a getaway driver who synchronizes his driving with music. The story follows Baby, played by Ansel Elgort, a young driver who works for crime boss Doc while trying to leave the criminal world behind. Wright also served as a producer.

Baby Driver was notable for the way its action, editing, and choreography were timed to its soundtrack. Rather than treating songs as background decoration, the film frequently makes movement, gunfire, car crashes, and dialogue interact with the music.

The movie is sometimes grouped only with car-chase films, but its plot is structured around repeated robberies and escape plans. Wright had previously directed crime-related films such as Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, though Baby Driver was his first feature centered so directly on a professional getaway driver.
