Ambulance cast and character guide. Directed by Michael Bay from a screenplay by Chris Fedak, and adapted from the Danish film of the same name, Ambulance is Bay’s specialty — a high octane action film with plenty of suspense and drama.
Desperate for money so as to pay for his wife’s surgery, Will Sharp goes to his brother Danny for a loan. Danny instead recruits him for a bank heist that will see the pair walking away with $32 million — that is, if they aren’t caught. However, things take a turn when their plan goes awry, stealing an ambulance in a bid to stop the cops from chasing them.
Bay’s last movie, 6 Underground, released in 2019, so it’s been a few years since the action director has helmed a movie and he’s assembled a cast that includes some big-name stars, including Jake Gyllenhaal, as well as rising ones. While Ambulance is primarily focused on a few main characters, there are several supporting actors who play crucial roles throughout the film, which makes certain aspects of the film all the more intense. Here is the full guide to the cast, which characters they play, and in what other projects they have been in before.

Will Sharp is Danny’s brother; the pair grew up together after Danny’s father took him in.
