In this car-chasing, police-evading, car-stealing adventure, Jerry Bruckheimer takes you to
the edge, and then floors it! Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage), an ex-car booster gone straight, is pulled back
into a life of fast cars and police chases when his brother Kip(Giovanni Ribisi) takes a one night
boost to grab some really exotic cars and screws it up. The man Kip is working for, Raymond Calitri
(Christopher Eccelston)is none to happy that this order is not filled, so he takes the proposition
to Memphis and tells him that either he boosts 50 cars in one night, or his brother is history.
After talking to his mother, a waitress at a local diner(Grace Zabriskie)decides to do whatever it takes
to save his brothers life and takes the one night boost, but he realizes that he is going to need
some help with this tall order. He enlists the help of 4 of his old boosting mates, Donny (Chi McBride),a retired car theif
turned driving insructor, Otto (Robert Duvall)ex car chopper turned auto mechanic, the nonspeaking Sphinx (Vinnie Jones),
the bad boy of the group, and Sway (Angelina Jolie), Memphis' former love interest. Against Memphis's wishes, four of
Kip's friends, (Scott Caan, TJ Cross, William Lee Scott, James Duval) join the group as well,
bringing along with them, new toys to aid in the boost. The Grand Theft Auto Division detectives, Castelbeck (Delroy Lindo)
and Drycoff (Timothy Olyphant), sense that Memphis is going back to his old ways of car theft and big bucks, so
they keep close surveilence on him to see if he is going to "slip up" so they can put him away like they wanted
to before. If Memphis thought he had it tough with the detectives, he comes face to face with a rival gang of car theives that
think that Memphis's gang is trying to take their territory from them, but after a slip up at a diner,
where Kip attaches a whench from a semi to the back of the gangs car, and when they take off, their car falls
apart and the cops that are sitting in the diner come out to find the car totalled and weapons in their possession.The
boost continues, where they take 46 cars of the boost with no problem. They come in to some trouble trying to steal 3 Mercedes that
have to have custom made keys. This is where the detectives "catch up with" the gang and almost make them his new
arrests, until Memphis notices that they are being watched as they are boosting the cars. They eventually get all three
Mercedes about 2 hours before the deadline. So, 49 cars, one rival gang, one of Kip's friends getting shot, and
trying to get a key from Otto's dog that swallowed it, they end up with one hour and one car left, the 1967 Ford Shelby GT 500, otherwise known as
"Eleanor". This is Memphis's "unicorn", the car he can never handle. He boosts the car and takes the Long Beach Police Dept. on the
wildest chase they have ever seen. Memphis is about to cross the last thing that stands in his way, the Long Beach bridge, when he
runs into a problem, a traffic accident is blocking the entire bridge so no one can pass. He contemplates what he should do as the
police pull up behind him with their guns drawn. He floors it and jumps over the entire accident using the back of a tow truck as a ramp. He ends
up at Calitri's a couple of minutes past the deadline. The movie ends with Calitri and Castlebeck in a struggle and Memphis saving the life
of the detective. The detective lets Memphis go for helping him and, in turn, saves Kip's life as well. This movie will
leave you breathless and wanting more when the final credits roll, so don't blink, because it could be
Gone in 60 Seconds!
