Ambulance is a remake of the 2005 Danish movie Ambulancen. Here is the synopsis for the American version:

"Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever. In this breakneck thriller from director-producer Michael Bay, decorated veteran Will Sharp, desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t — his adoptive brother Danny. A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million. With his wife’s survival on the line, Will can’t say no.

"But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L.A. has ever seen."

Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are at the center of Ambulance as robbers and adoptive brothers Danny and Will Sharp, respectively.

Gyllenhaal is an Oscar-nominated actor (Brokeback Mountain) who is best known for his work in Donnie Darko, Nightcrawler, Prisoners and Spider-Man: Far From Home. He most recently was in the 2021 Netflix original movie The Guilty.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is also familiar with getting some awards recognition for his work, earning an Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for Watchmen. He’s also no stranger to big-budget action movies, having starred in The Matrix Resurrections, Aquaman and is returning for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Other credits include Candyman and The Trial of the Chicago 7.

Rounding out the main trio for Ambulance is Eiza González as the EMT they take hostage, Cam Thompson. González will be familiar to movie fans from her work in Godzilla vs Kong, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Baby Driver, among others.

Ambulance director Michael Bay

Michael Bay is one of the most prolific action movie directors working in Hollywood — the man loves to make things explode.

After getting his start in music videos, Bay broke out in the mid 90s with Bad Boys, The Rock and Armageddon. So far in the 2000s Bay has been best known for shepherding the Transformers movie franchise, directing five of them, though he will not be behind the camera for the next planned outing, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Bay’s last movie, 6 Underground, was a Netflix original that played exclusively on streaming, so Ambulance will mark Bay’s return to movie theaters for the first time since 2017.
