Ambulance is a 2022 American action heist film co-produced and directed by Michael Bay and written by Chris Fedak. A co-production between New Republic Pictures, Project X Entertainment, and Bay Films, it is a remake of the 2005 Danish film of the same name. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as adoptive brothers who hijack an ambulance after robbing a bank and take a paramedic (Eiza González) and a police officer (Jackson White) hostage.

The film was first announced in 2015 and went through several crew changes. In 2020, Bay came on board to direct after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted his plans to shoot a different movie. Filming took place in Los Angeles, in the midst of the pandemic with cinematographer Roberto De Angelis. During post-production, the film was edited by Pietro Scalia and the score was composed by Lorne Balfe.

Ambulance was theatrically released in some international territories on March 16, premiered in Paris, France, on March 20, and was theatrically released in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 8, 2022. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing approximately $52 million worldwide on a budget of $40 million. While the story drew some polarized response, Ambulance received praise for the performances, Bay's direction, and the action sequences.^[2]
