Synopsis
When Kip Raines gets in trouble with a big time criminal, his older brother Memphis, a highly reputable auto thief, is called in to heist fifty cars in one night to make up for Kip's mistake. But fifty is one hell of a number, and it doesn't make it any easier that the cops are onto their game.
Summary
Sneaking around in the night, dodging cops, breaking into cars and getting in tons of trouble....such are the lives of the men and women in 'Gone in Sixty Seconds'. The film is highly enjoyable....Nicolas Cage is on the mark (as usual), and the action is thrilling. There isn't too much of a story, but the movie in general makes up for that with loud noise and flashing edge-of-your-seat images. So when you see this movie, don't go expecting drama and emotion....be ready for a mind-numbing ride that kicks ass.

"How about having sex while stealing cars?" -- Memphis
