Story:
Action thriller directed by Michael Bay. Ambulance (2022) follows decorated veteran Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who is desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, and asks for help from his adoptive brother, Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal), a charismatic career criminal. However, Danny instead offers him a score, the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history. But when their getaway goes wrong, they hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life, and ace EMT, Cam Thompson (Eiza González), 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, while executing the most insane escape.

Danny Sharp: [to Will] We have real guns. It’s just for protection. You know how it works. We’re not cowboys. We’re not shooting anything up. This is my job. Come on. We can do this in our sleep.
Danny Sharp: [to Will] Look, we’ve got five minutes, and I need to know whether you’re in or you’re out. You’re my brother. I love you.

Officer Zach: I won’t rob it.
Danny Sharp: [laughs] Seriously. Because that would be bad for my job, you know.
Officer Zach: I promise.
Danny Sharp: [to Zach] These are the decisions that matter in life, so let me give you all the information before you decide. Okay, I have two guns. Fully auto. One’s aimed at you, and the other one’s at Kim, your girlfriend. I have you, the tellers, and nine employees in the back, and your partner outside, and it’s up to you to make sure that they are all safe. Yeah, kind of a heavy burden. I need you to nod if you understand, Officer. Now, take your f***ing hand off the weapon. Give me a big smile and wave at your partner.
Danny Sharp: [to the people in the bank] You are all going to have the greatest story to tell at dinner tonight!
Danny Sharp: [to Zach, after Will shoots Zach] You f***ing punch me, and that’s what happens. He’s a f***ing Marine, man.

Cam Thompson: What do you want?
Danny Sharp: [referring to the ambulance] I’m just going to borrow it.

Cam Thompson: It’s Cam. My name is Cam.
Danny Sharp: Oh, no way. My name’s Daniel. But I prefer Danny. I don’t give a f***!
Danny Sharp: [to Cam] Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to point the gun at you. I don’t really like pointing guns at anybody. It’s not really my thing. But like when you… I mean, what was I supposed to do, you know? I know it’s funny, but it’s, I’m sort of more of the sensitive one of the two of us.
