Bay followed that up with the action/thriller The Rock and the disaster film Armageddon, riding this success into the Transformers franchise, directing five installments before bowing out after 2017'sThe Last Knight.

The two steal an ambulance and attempt to make their getaway with the cop and an EMT as their hostages. Ambulance also stars Eiza González and Garret Dillahunt.
