What happens

Gone in 60 Seconds (also known as Gone in Sixty Seconds) is a 2000 American action heist film directed by Dominic Sena, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It is a loose remake of the 1974 film of the same name by H. B. Halicki. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi, Christopher Eccleston, Robert Duvall, Vinnie Jones, Delroy Lindo, Chi McBride, and Will Patton. The plot centers on reformed car thief Memphis (Cage) who is forced out of retirement and tasked to steal 50 luxury vehicles in one night in order to save the life of his brother (Ribisi). He recruits members of his old crew including his mentor (Duvall) and ex-girlfriend (Jolie). The film was shot from May to October 1999, throughout Los Angeles and Long Beach, California. Gone in 60 Seconds was released on June 9, 2000, by Buena Vista Pictures (through its Touchstone Pictures label). It received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its writing, direction, as well as acting and action sequences. Despite the critical response, the film grossed $237 million against an estimated production budget of $90 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
