"The Fast and the Furious," the first ever film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, is set to be re-released to mark the movie's 15th anniversary.

Fans will be able to see film the film on the big screen once again when it is released in around 1,500 theaters on Wednesday June 22, the date when the original movie opened back in 2001.

The film was a surprise hit at the time -- partly due to a cast of mainly unknown actors and actresses -- and has gone on to spawn six sequels to date.

The film's seventh sequel, "Fast 8", which will see Charlize Theron joining the cast, will open April 14.
