The Italian Job is a 2003 heist film, directed by F. Gary Gray. The film stars Jason Statham, Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Seth Green, Mos Def and Donald Sutherland. Though it is a remake of the original 1969 film of the same name starring Michael Caine, it has an almost entirely different plot and characters. The film garnered generally favorable reviews, with most critics saying that though it lacked the wit of the original, it was still a fun ride. It was nominated for a total of nine awards, winning four.
A gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker, create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears. (Written by Mark Cameron)
Careering across the roofs, and down through the sewers and marble staircases of Turin, this trio of Minis made an unforgettable spectacle in the 1969 comedy classic, the Italian Job. Reproduced under license from Paramount Pictures, these 1/36 scale replicas capture the stye and fun of the originals, so excitingly caught on celluloid. A very nice set.
