Dominic Toretto’s crew plans its Fast Five heist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
After breaking Brian O’Conner and Dom out of custody, the group settles in Rio and targets the assets of corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes. Their plan ultimately involves stealing money from a police vault and dragging the safe through city streets.
Rio de Janeiro gives the film its distinctive setting, combining coastal scenery, dense urban roads, and major landmarks. The production used both location work and controlled action filming to create the elaborate chase sequences.
This question refers to the city hosting the heist plot, not the country hosting the film’s climactic action. Rio de Janeiro is in southeastern Brazil and was the country’s capital until 1960.
