 This explosive action-thriller from director Dominic Sena (Kalifornia) and writer Scott Rosenberg (Con Air) features enough car chases for 10 movies.
Nicolas Cage plays a reformed car thief who must steal 50 cars virtually overnight in order to save his brother's (Giovanni Ribisi) life. He seeks out Robert Duvall and Angelina Jolie, among others, to do the impossible. Fasten your seat belts for this pulse-pounding thrill ride, compliments of producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
The car Memphis Raines refers to as Eleanor is a 1967 Shelby GT 350 Mustang. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer bought the original car used in the film.
This film is a remake of H.B."Toby" Halicki's 1974 low-budget movie of the same name, which featured the crashing of 90 cars in the last 40 minutes. Halicki died during filming of a sequel to his original film.
The film's cast learned how to break into and steal cars from actual convicted car thieves. By the end of production, star Angelina Jolie boasted she could steal any car in a matter of minutes.
Gone in 60 Seconds is the third collaboration between star Cage and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, following 1996's The Rock and 1997's Con Air.
This film is only the second film made by director Dominic Sena, after 1994's Kalifornia.
