Belle Williams è un vero e proprio asso del volante. Guidando a rotta di collo per le strade di New York nel suo taxi truccato, si è guadagnata la fama di tassista più veloce di tutta la città. Ma guidare un taxi è solo un "pit stop" del suo sogno nel cassetto: diventare una pilota di corse. E potrebbe anche farcela, se sulla sua strada non si mettesse un poliziotto, Andy Washburn, la cui capacità di infiltrarsi tra i criminali è pari solo alla sua totale inettitudine al volante. Proprio per questa sua inettitudine è finito nelle retrovie del suo distretto ed è sulle tracce di una banda di bellissime rapinatrici brasiliane, capeggiate da Vanessa - fredda, calcolatrice e dotata di gambe chilometriche. Per acciuffarle, poiché privo di patente di guida, Washburn convince Belle a far squadra con lui e a dar la caccia a Vanessa e alla sua banda, dandole carta bianca per guidare anche a folle velocità e per infrangere qualunque articolo del codice stradale.
