Sandra Bullock reunited with her Speed co-star Keanu Reeves for the 30th anniversary screening of their iconic 1994 thriller in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The actress, 60, and the Matrix star, 60, were pictured arriving at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for the event.
Sandra — who recently shared that she dreams of working with Keanu again — exuded elegance in a head-to-toe black outfit, accented by shimmering earrings.
Meanwhile the actor graciously stopped to sign autographs as he made his way inside, sporting a black blazer and scruffy beard.
The action-packed blockbuster starred Keanu as bomb disposal expert Jack Traven, and Sandra as Annie Porter, a bus passenger who finds a bomb and teams up with Jack to defuse it.

The film was directed by Jan de Bont in his feature directorial debut, with a screenplay written by Graham Yost.
It also starred Dennis Hopper, Joe Morton and Jeff Daniels.
The plot centered around a city bus that was rigged by Hopper to explode if its speed drops below 50 miles per hour.
Reeves and Bullock’s characters find themselves in a race against time to prevent the tragedy from occurring.
The film premiered on June 10, 1994. It debuted at number one at the box-office, and grossed $14.5 million in its opening weekend.
The film also set opening records for 20th Century Fox in Brazil with $669,725 and in South Africa with $267,140.
It won Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Sound at the 67th Academy Awards.
Reeves declined to return for the 1997 Speed sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control, leaving Bullock to front the film with Jason Patric.

It was a box office bomb, with many critics calling it one of the worst sequels of all time.
Reeves admitted that he declined the chance to reprise his part as LAPD bomb disposal officer as he ‘didn’t respond’ to the ocean-set story.
In May, Sandra shared that she dreams of working with Keanu again.
During an appearance on the 50 MPH podcast, the Miss Congeniality star admitted that she was ready to reunite with Reeves.
‘Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera,’ she confessed.
Bullock even teased a potential third Speed installment, joking, ‘Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. Maybe.’
The Oscar winner first appeared on screen with Reeves in the 1994 blockbuster action flick, and then again for the 2006 romantic drama The Lake House.
Although Reeves turned down Speed 2 due to the script, he’s open to reuniting with Bullock for a third film in the franchise.
The actor told the 50 MPH podcast: ‘I mean, you know – we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.’

The star claimed there is ‘siren call’ attracting him to another Speed film and that he wants to work with Sandra again.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show in 2021, he recalled: ‘At the time I didn’t respond to the script.
‘I really wanted to work with Sandra Bullock, I loved playing Jack Traven, and I loved Speed, but an ocean liner?’
He added, ‘I had nothing against the artists involved, but at the time I had the feeling it just wasn’t right.’
