Which Fast & Furious film features the crew’s train robbery in the opening sequence?

The story behind the answer

Fast Five features the crew’s train robbery in its opening sequence. Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, and Mia Toretto hijack vehicles transported by train after breaking Dominic out of a prison bus.

The sequence establishes the film’s action-focused tone and introduces the group’s plan to steal cars from a moving train. It also leads to the discovery of a connection to Brazilian criminal Hernan Reyes, which becomes the basis for the later Rio heist.

The film is officially titled Fast Five, although it is also described as the fifth installment in the Fast & Furious series. The train sequence is distinct from the safe-dragging climax in Rio, another set piece frequently associated with the same film.
