EspañolGONE IN SIXTY SECONDS (2000 FILM)
:''This is about the 2000 remake. For the original 1974 film, see Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film)''
'''Gone in Sixty Seconds''' is a 2000 action film, starring Nicolas Cage, directed by Dominic Sena, and written by Scott Rosenberg. It was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and is a remake of the 1974 H.B. Halicki film ''Gone in 60 Seconds''.
The film concerns a former car thief being forced to return to his former trade and steal fifty cars in one night for a crime boss who is threatening to kill his brother. It stars Nicolas Cage as "Memphis", Angelina Jolie as "Sway", Robert Duvall as Otto, Christopher Eccleston as Raymond Vincent Calitri and the former Wimbledon player Vinnie Jones as "The Sphinx". Delroy Lindo plays Detective Roland Castlebeck.
Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) was the most accomplished car thief in Long Beach, California. Six years ago his mother told him to leave town, his life, the city and his girlfriend, Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie), in order to prevent his brother from following in his footsteps. Car theft in Long Beach declined by 47% in his absence.
Kip Raines (Giovanni Ribisi) is Randall's younger brother. He looked up to his brother and his skill and dreamed of becoming a car thief. While Memphis is away, he makes new connections and becomes the leader of a small yet high profile car theft group. They are recruited for an ambitious job and on the way back to the shop after stealing a Porsche, Kip blows his cover in a street race with another car. Police spot him speeding whilst they are making an unrelated arrest and trail him back to their warehouse hideout, which the car thieves abandon seconds before the police arrive.
Now a car mechanic who runs a kiddy go-cart track, reformed Memphis is visited by Atlee, an old friend with bad news. Atlee reveals that Kip has botched the big job for new guy, high end stolen-car broker, Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston), a vicious British kingpin and amateur fine furniture builder, nicknamed "The Carpenter".
Memphis speaks with Calitri and tries to negotiate, paying back the $10,000 advance given to Kip for the job. Calitri is insulted and throws the money back at Raines and demands that he complete the $200,000.00, 50 car assignment from a South American client, or Kip would be hunted down and killed. He reveals a coffin that he has waiting for Kip.....just in case.
Memphis agrees at gunpoint while his brother is being crushed in a Pontiac Firebird before his very eyes, "Eight AM Friday morning the cars are on the boat or your brother's in the coffin". Memphis then begins contacting his old partners, who are dead or have changed career paths to respectable jobs in society, which included Sway. Detective Roland Castlebeck, who had made a career of trying to catch Memphis in the act, takes notice of his recent arrival in town and monitors his activity closely with his partner Drycoff. Castlebeck and Drycoff are intent on busting Memphis this time, "You make one slip and I will put you away for good". As Memphis reunites with old friends, he also has to avoid bitter rivals from the past such as Johnny B (Master P), who wants to kill him for taking the big job that he says should have gone to him. He later gets Johnny and his gang arrested getting him out of the way.
After teaming up with Kip's crew, and overcoming a few set backs such as a tip off on the Mercedes, a dog eating some keys, one of the young crew getting shot, a large snake, and a car jacking of a drug dealer's car (a car wasn't even on the list to be stolen), Memphis and his gang succeed in stealing 49 of the 50 cars and placing them in the ships containers, leaving him with only one car left to steal himself — codenamed "Eleanor", a 1967 Shelby Ford Mustang GT 500. The GT 500, which is "Memphis's Unicorn" is a car that Memphis historically had a rough history with as it almost had him killed several times.
While nervously stealing Eleanor, Memphis is ambushed by Castlebeck as he had earlier discovered the original list in Kip's shop and knew Memphis would save the only Eleanor in the area, for last. Memphis succeeds in delivering the last despite Castleback's high-speed pursuit ending in a spectacular jump, but he is late and has damaged it in the chase. Calitri not being pleased, orders Memphis killed and the car shredded.
About to be executed in his brother's place by Calitri's goons, Memphis is saved by Kip and Atlee. Memphis then goes after Calitri while the police are still after him. The tables are turned and Memphis is forced to retreat and hide. Then while hunting Memphis, Calitri spots Castlebeck and is about to kill him. Memphis spots them and chooses to save Castlebeck and sends Calitri plummeting to his death off a catwalk and crashing through his office glass ceiling, and into the coffin he built for Kip. Castlebeck had previously learned from an informant that Memphis took on the dangerous mission solely to save his brother's life. Being that Randall "Memphis" Haines had also just saved Castlebeck's own hide he gratefully lets him go. Memphis then informs Castlebeck of the location of the container ship loaded with the stolen cars.
The next day Memphis celebrates with his friends and Sway at the garage. There is a very remarkable scene in which the formerly mute "Sphinx" played by Vinnie Jones abruptly launches into a poignant soliloquy about lessons learned which quickly and smoothly and humorously segues into Kip bringing his brother a gift of gratitude - the keys to Eleanor which he bought and had been fixing after it was damaged by the cranes. The sentimental bond between the brothers is emphasized here in that Kip made a sacrifice by selling his motorbike so he could buy the car for his brother instead of stealing it. The weasely little ne'er-do-well has finally and completely redeemed himself in the eyes of his older brother as well as in the minds of the attentive movie audience. The proud and excited Memphis drives off with Sway and true to his history with Eleanor, she stalls shortly after leaving the garage. Screen goes to black and Memphis is heard sweet talking Eleanor while the engine is rrr-rrr-rrr-ing without success.
