The morning after the two are honored, Jack witnesses the destruction of a Santa Monica Transit commuter bus, which kills its driver. Sometime later, Jack and Harry are commended for their actions, and Harry is promoted to detective with a desk job while his leg heals. Jack tries to follow, but another explosion occurs and the bomber appears to have been caught in the debris. Jack shoots Harry in the leg (as Harry told him to), forcing the man to drop him. They track the bomber to the building's freight elevator, where the man takes Harry hostage.
Though the bomber blows the brakes with three minutes left in the hour-long time limit he gave, Jack and Harry manage to rescue the hostages before the elevator falls. Los Angeles Police Department SWAT members Jack TravenĀ and Harry Temple are able to sneak inside the shaft. He demands $3 million, threatening to detonate the emergency brakes that are preventing the elevator from plunging down the shaft. In Los Angeles an unidentified man traps several office workers inside a skyscraper elevator using small, remotely-detonated C-4 bombs. Speed is unanimously regarded as one of the best Die Hard scenario films.
As reluctant passenger and now driver Annie Porter (Bullock) takes the wheel, Traven has to figure out a way to disarm the bomb and beat Payne at his own game. In this film, it's about Los Angeles SWAT officer Jack Traven (Reeves) discovers that a bomb has been planted on a bus by a revenge-driven ex-bomb squad officer Howard Payne (Hopper) and has to keep the bus driving above 50mph to avoid detonation. A surprise critical and commercial success, it won two Academy Awards, for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the 67th Academy Awards in 1995. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels. Speed is a 1994 American action-thriller film directed by Jan de Bont.
