Historia
Chev Chelios, presumed dead after his heart was stolen by Chinese mobsters, wakes up alive but with a battery-powered heart that requires regular electric jolts to function. With only an hour's worth of life in his artificial heart, Chev must find his original heart and get it replaced by Doc Miles, an unlicensed cardiologist. Aided by Eve, Rei, Venus (a stripper), and a Tourette's-afflicted pal, Chev navigates through the city, constantly needing electric charges to keep going. He faces various challenges like horse races, mansion infiltrations, gangsters, and even a foot chase involving police helicopters. Throughout his journey, Chev must confront his mortality while trying to expose the truth behind his organ harvesting.
Resumen

It's set in an unknown city where Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) finds himself in a race against time, literally, trying to keep his artificial heart functional while seeking his stolen organ. The film explores themes of mortality, survival, and the lengths one would go to save their own life.
