Zac Efron gears up for lead in Autobahn

Zac Efron and Amber Heard are lining up to play the leads in Autobahn, a car chase heist movie to shoot in Germany in the autumn.

Efron plays Casey, an American backpacker who gets involved with a European ring of German drug smugglers. When an attempted scam on behalf of a rival Turkish gang goes badly wrong, Casey is chased at top speed on the autobahns around Munich, with his girlfriend (played by Heard) in imminent danger of being kidnapped.
