The Ultimate Rush is a 1998 novel by author Joe Quirk about a roller-blading messenger in San Francisco named Chet Griffin who spends his nights hacking for fun.

He discovers the illegal activities and is framed for murder by a corrupt police officer.

He is chased through the streets by the police, the Italian and Chinese mafias, and the Federal Computer Investigations Committee.

The suit laid out many plot, character name, and scene similarities to Quirk's original screenplay.

[3] On April 2, 2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed this case, finding that the two works were not substantially similar.
