Speed is celebrating 32 years since it blasted into theaters in June 1994, according to E! News. The action hit starred Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock and went on to earn $350 million at the box office.
The film, directed by Jan de Bont, followed an LAPD SWAT officer and a city bus rigged with a bomb that would explode if the bus slowed below 50 miles per hour. E! News noted that the movie is now available to stream for free on Fandango at Home.
Bullock, who played Annie, said on the 50 MPH podcast in May 2024 that she remembered being surrounded by “really kind and fun people” and a concept many people initially doubted. Reeves also said the production had a warm and sincere atmosphere behind the scenes.
Since Speed, Reeves has gone on to lead major franchises and Bullock became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars after the film. E! News also highlighted the later careers of cast members including Jeff Daniels and Alan Ruck, who continued building long careers in film, television and theater.
