Genre: Action / Crime / Thriller Director(s): Dominic Sena Release Date: 01 January 2000 Movie rating: 6.5

Based on the title itself, you can already guess that this movie has something to do with some kind of robbery. Why would anyone be gone in 60 seconds in any other case? And the guess is right. The plot is focused on a group of thieves who are stealing cars and they are professionals in that field. The whole point is in stealing the car in under 60 seconds, because no one can catch you for that short period of time. It begins as Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) gets the task to deliver certain cars to one of the most powerful criminals Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston). That is when he gets his life endangered and his brother Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) steps in to fix the thing. Unlike Kip, Randall is a pro car thief, who is actually in retirement and this is only because Kip is his brother. He is to deliver all those cars in the deadline of 24 hours. So, he spends three days on gathering the best crew for that. That crew includes Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie), Mirror Man (T.J. Cross),Otto Halliwell (Robert DuVall), and the people he knows will do the work as professionals. Along with this chaos is the situation with two detectives, who are keeping their eyes on Randall, since he is already known to the police, and who are suspecting that he is planning an hew heist. So, Randall must find the way to honour the deadline given by the criminal without raising any more suspicion by cops.
