Frank Martin has just returned from Miami to the French Riviera, where he hopes to spend a few quiet days fishing with his friend, Inspector Tarconi. The calm doesn't last long. While the two wait in vain for a bite, Tarconi gets a call about a black Audi A8 that has blown through a French customs checkpoint and escaped the police. Frank now makes a living from a discreet business: he transports packages without asking what's inside. His peace of mind is shaken by that car and by what the call reveals about the world he works in. Jason Statham stars as Frank, with François Berléand as Tarconi. The movie is directed by Olivier Megaton.

Trivia about Transporter 3

Luc Besson spotted Natalya Rudakova on the street on the way to her job at a hair salon in New York. He paid for 25 acting lessons over six months before bringing her to an audition in Paris.

It was the first installment of the franchise not distributed by 20th Century Fox in the United States; Lionsgate Films handled it instead.

In the United States, the DVD and Blu-ray edition sold 1,108,030 units and generated 19.7 million dollars in revenue.

Filming was initially planned for at least 16 weeks in France and Russia, but it also took place in Odesa, Ukraine.

The car chases were filmed at real speed, without models, and the production kept 3D animation to a minimum; most of the stunt performers did their own work on set.

The movie earned two nominations, including one for the Audience Award at the 2009 European Film Awards.

It grossed 108,979,549 dollars worldwide according to IMDb, with 31,715,062 dollars coming from the United States and Canada.

In 2025, its arrival on Tubi was announced, and it was also among the movies scheduled to be removed from Plex on November 1 of that year.
