Ambulance (2022 film)

Ambulance is a 2022 American action thriller film directed and produced by Michael Bay. A co-production between New Republic Pictures, Project X Entertainment, and Bay Films, it is based on the 2005 Danish film of the same name by Laurits Munch-Petersen and Lars Andreas Pedersen. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza González and follows two adoptive siblings turned bank robbers who hijack an ambulance and take two first responders hostage.
Ambulance, first announced in 2015, went through several crew changes years before it entered production. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic halted Bay's plans to shoot a different film so he agreed to come on board to direct. Filming took place in the midst of the pandemic in downtown Los Angeles with cinematographer Roberto De Angelis. During post-production, editing was completed by Pietro Scalia and the musical score was composed by Lorne Balfe.
The film premiered in Paris, France, on March 20, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 8. The movie underperformed at the box office, grossing approximately $51 million worldwide against a $40 million production budget. While the story drew some criticism, the film received praise for Bay's direction and the action sequences.
