Hi-octane action thriller, about daring car thief Maindrian Pace (H.B. Halicki), who plans to steal 50 luxury motors for a mystery client. Gathering together an experienced crew, Pace starts the operation, lifting cadillacs, Rolls Royces and other expensive cars, only stopping when he finds one vehicle with millions of dollars' worth of heroin in the boot. Destroying the car and the drugs puts Pace in conflict with his loose-cannon partner Eugene (Jerry Daugirda), but before they can resolve the issue the police finally catch up with them, resulting in a huge cross-country, five-city car chase with the cops.

Gone in 60 Seconds is a reckless stunt-driven movie and is not focused on the characters, their backgrounds, or any "traditional" kind of storyline. It is a movie based purely on just action and then more action again. In the first half of the movie, there are some stylish action sequences involving dozens of cars being stolen. After that, there is then probably the best car-chase scene ever captured on film. The incredible continuous action makes you forget any impressions you might have had of the lame storyline. I do not think that movies do not always have to follow a traditional format, and so sometimes a movie-maker can just smack the audience in the face with raw, honest, and polished execution. I think Gone in 60 Seconds is a great example of that.
