Driven is a 2018 biographical comedy thriller[3][4] film directed by Nick Hamm and written by Colin Bateman.

[9][10] Pilot James T. Hoffman is busted by the FBI when he arrives in the United States with a large amount of cocaine in his airplane.
Special Agent Benedict Tisa acts as his handler and continues to pressure him into setting up his boss, Morgan Hetrick, who has millions of dollars in overseas accounts from trafficking narcotics.
He receives $600,000 from Johnny Carson, who calls DeLorean during one of his parties and is put on speaker phone, where he complains about how the new car has continually broken down.
Hoffman informs Tisa that DeLorean wants to move cocaine in order to raise the money in exchange that he and his family will be safe from any criminal prosecution and that he will no longer be required to work for the FBI.
Electricity was scarce and the filmmakers had to lobby the Puerto Rican government for access to limited quantities of fuel for generators.
The website's critics consensus reads: "Compelling performances from an outstanding cast help Driven take audiences on an enjoyably stranger-than-fiction joyride.
[13] Boyd van Hoeij of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "If the pic is ultimately an entertaining ride, it is because Sudeikis takes the audience by the hand through this very unlikely story that was inspired by true events.
[citation needed] The film depicts a close friendship between DeLorean and FBI informant James Hoffman, which was never the case.
