With the previous three installments being set between 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Furious 7 is the first film in the franchise to take place after Tokyo Drift. The film also marks the final film appearance of Walker, who died in a single-vehicle accident on November 30, 2013, with filming only half-completed. After Walker's death, filming was delayed for script re-writes and his brothers, Caleb and Cody, were used as stand-ins to complete his remaining scenes.
Furious 7 was released first in Australia on April 2, 2015, and then in the United States on April 3, 2015, and was released in 3D internationally, a first for the series. Upon release, the film became a critical and commercial success, with praise being aimed at the film's action sequences and its tribute to Walker. The film made $392.2 million worldwide in its first three days of release, which is the fourth-highest opening of all time. The film has grossed over $1.15 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise after just twelve days, currently the highest-grossing film of 2015, the fastest film ever to gross $1 billion worldwide and the seventh highest-grossing film of all time.
After breaking into the secure hospital where a comatose Owen Shaw is being held, Owen's older brother, Deckard Shaw, swears vengeance against "the team that crippled his brother". Meanwhile, Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner, and the rest of the crew, now able to return to the United States after securing amnesties from Luke Hobbs, try to live normal lives again. Dom attempts to help Letty regain her memories, while Brian is reluctantly accustoming himself to life as a father with Mia.
Shaw breaks into a DSS office to extract info on Dom’s crew, but is caught by Hobbs. Shaw and Hobbs fight, but he escapes by detonating a bomb, seriously injuring Hobbs. Meanwhile, Dom learns his sister Mia is pregnant again; he convinces her to tell Brian about it. Their conversation is interrupted by a phone call: Deckard Shaw, calling immediately after having killed Han, formerly of their crew, in Tokyo. This tips off Dom that the package on his doorstep is, in fact a disguised bomb; it explodes, destroying the Toretto house. Dom visits Hobbs in hospital, where he learns Shaw is seeking to avenge his brother. Dom then travels to Tokyo to claim Han's body. There, he meets and races Sean Boswell, a friend of Han's, who gives him personal items found at Han’s crash site; among them, a cross necklace that Dom had previously given Letty.
At Han's funeral, Dom notices Shaw driving by the service and chases him. After the two collide head-on in their vehicles, Shaw slips away when a covert ops team, led by “Mr. Nobody” and Sheppard, arrive. “Nobody” says he will locate Shaw if Dom helps him prevent terrorist Mose Jakande from obtaining a tracking program called God's Eye by saving its creator, hacker Ramsey, from Jakande. Dom recruits Brian, Letty, Roman, and Tej to help, but Mia makes Brian promise that after Shaw is dealt with, he will dedicate himself to their family full-time.
The team rescue Ramsey by airdropping and ambushing Jakande’s armed convoy, where they discover she is a young woman. They then head to Abu Dhabi, where Ramsey has sent the God’s Eye flash drive. The team break into the penthouse where it is located, snatching the drive. On both occasions, the team is pursued by Shaw, targeting Dom.
With God's Eye, Ramsey tracks down Shaw, holed up in Yemen. Dom, Brian, “Nobody”, and his men attempt to capture Shaw, but are ambushed by Jakande’s militants, called in by Shaw. In the ensuing battle, the men with “Nobody”, including Sheppard, are killed and “Nobody” is seriously injured, though he manages to escape with Dom and Brian. Jakande obtains God's Eye from Sheppard's corpse. On their way out of the country, “Nobody” warns Dom and Brian that Jakande will use God's Eye against them, and, leaving Mr. Nobody behind at his own request to be evacuated by helicopter, they drive off. Left with no other choice, the team returns to Los Angeles to fight the villains on home turf. Dom plans to confront Shaw alone; Brian and the rest of the crew prepare to deal with Jakande and God's Eye. When Brian calls Mia, she finally reveals to him that she is pregnant with their second child, a girl.
As Jakande pursues Brian and the crew via helicopter, with God’s Eye tracking down Ramsey, Ramsey hacks into God's Eye with the team’s help. When Brian manually reroutes the program's signal, Ramsey successfully regains control of God's Eye, shutting it down. As Dom and Shaw engage in a one-on-one brawl on top of a parking garage, Jakande intervenes and attacks them both, and the parking garage collapses in on Shaw. Dom then confronts Jakande, managing to kill him, but crashing in the process. With Dom now injured and unconscious, the team fears him dead; Letty reveals that she now remembers their marriage ceremony, which happened unbeknownst to the rest of the crew. Dom then comes to, remarking, "It's about time". Hobbs takes Shaw into custody, and locks him away in a secret CIA prison.
On a beach, Brian and Mia play with their son while Dom, Letty, Roman and Tej observe, appreciating their happiness and acknowledging that Brian is now better off retired. Dom silently leaves, but Brian soon catches up with him. As Dom fondly remembers Brian, they drive off in separate directions.
A final title card reads, "For Paul".
