Driver : [on phone] There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours.
The Driver lives in an inconspicuous apartment complex, in a sparsely decorated room, down the hall from an attractive young woman named Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her six-year-old son, Benicio (Kaden Leos). One day the Driver helps out when Irene's car breaks down and she invites him back home.

Baby Driver Wasn't Inspired By Drive, But Here Are 7 Reasons Why Everyone Thinks It is. Having seen Baby Driver just yesterday, I have to say that this movie is well worth watching if you like the kind of movie that takes you back in time to, let's say, the 50s.
Baby was caught by Doc himself but instead being turned in, he was coerced to work for Doc to pay off the debt. As a result, he became a getaway driver and ferried crews of robbers assembled by Doc.
Character: Ansel Elgort stars as Miles, who goes by Baby, in the 2017 action film. As the lead character, Baby is at the center of the conflict in this heart-racing heist movie.
"Nightcall" plays in the background of a flashback scene in the film The Lincoln Lawyer. It also plays during the opening credits of the 2011 film Drive, and in scene 25 of Our RoboCop Remake, both directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011) is the golden scorpion stitched on to the back of the jacket worn by our nameless protagonist, the Driver. It is a reference to the allegory “The Scorpion and the Frog”, in which a scorpion rides the back of a frog across a river and stings him, dooming them both to drown.
The Driver isn't necessarily a good guy, but when he crosses the wrong crime syndicate, he's relentlessly pursued by even worse guys. He was just supposed to be the getaway driver following Standard's lead, but he's on his own after Standard is killed.
Drive makes non-verbal communication its primary storytelling tool. Ryan Gosling will say 891 words in the entire film. He has 116 lines. That's an average of around 7 words per sentence.
Driver exudes an idealised masculinity. Stoic, calm, stable, confident, self-sufficient. A very out-dated line of thinking, I know, but "he's what men want to be and what women want." Other male characters in the film may fit the "machismo" bill, but they are aggressive, abrasive. They are impulsive and make mistakes.
Parents need to know that Baby Driver is an action-packed crime drama about a young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) for a group of Atlanta bank robbers. Violence is constant and often glamorized.

Although their testimony doesn't stop Baby from being sentenced to twenty-five years in prison, it does seem to play a part in him being granted the chance for parole after five years. The film ends with Baby being released from prison following those five years, finding Debora waiting for him.
Baby, the main character, is arguably disabled. He suffers from trauma based tinnitus, and is constantly wearing headphones and listening to music (which is almost always used as the background music in the film) to drown out the noise caused by the tinnitus.
"Baby Driver" eschews blue screens and C.G.I. in favour of old-school, live-action car chases. Stunt coordinator Jeremy Fry was behind the wheel for many of them.
In Atlanta, Miles, self-named "Baby", is a young getaway driver who lost his parents in a car crash that left him with tinnitus, and finds catharsis in music. He ferries crews of robbers assembled by kingpin Doc to pay off a debt as recompense for theft of a car containing Doc's illicit goods.
Edgar Wright's Baby Driver is one of the few movies coming out this season that isn't part of an existing franchise, based on a book or TV show, or inspired by true events. And, thankfully for creative risk-taking, it's already paid for itself.
