The
plan was flawless... the job was executed perfectly... the escape
was clean. The only threat mastermind thief Charlie Croker (Mark
Wahlberg) never saw coming was from a member of his own crew.
After pulling off an amazing gold bullion heist from a heavily
guarded palazzo in Venice, Italy, Charlie and his gang -- inside
man Steve (Edward Norton), computer genius Lyle (Seth Green),
wheelman Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), explosives expert Left-Ear
(Mos Def) and veteran safecracker John Bridger (Donald Sutherland)
-- can't believe it when one of them turns out to be a double-crosser.
Now the job isn't about the payoff, it's about payback!
Enter Stella (Charlize Theron), a beautiful nerves-of-steel safecracker,
who joins Charlie and his former gang when they follow the backstabber
to California, where they plan to re-steal the gold by tapping
into Los Angeles' traffic control system, manipulating signals
and creating one of the biggest traffic jams in L.A. history!
A contemporary update of Paramount's 1969 classic, "The Italian Job" features the
ever-popular MINI Cooper in state-of-the-art chase scenes down
Hollywood's Walk of Fame, through the Metro Rail tunnels and
down narrow escape routes only the MINI can go. Full of twists,
turns and exciting stunts with armored cars, motorcycles and
helicopters, this action-packed thrill-ride takes audiences on
wild curves they'll never see coming.
