Plot Summary


Here’s a rephrased version of the section:

As Calitri (Christopher Eccleston) issues orders, Giovanni Ribisi, accompanied by two cohorts, sets in motion a daring heist to pilfer fifty high-performance vehicles. Their target: a gleaming Porsche showroom, where they will shatter glass and claim their prize. With a calculated move, Ribisi produces a brick from his trunk, smashing the display window with precision. The trio makes off with their prize, careening through the dealership’s glass wall in a burst of speed. As the authorities track the stolen vehicle back to Calitri’s warehouse, all escapes are successful, save for the impounding of several Mercedes-Benz models, including three sleek sedans.

Meanwhile, Kip Raines (Nicolas Cage), a former car thief turned go-kart entrepreneur, finds his world disrupted by a visit from old acquaintances. They arrive bearing ominous news: Ribisi has fallen into Calitri’s clutches, and the stakes are high. With no choice but to take drastic action, Cage sets out for Long Beach and Calitri’s stronghold, an abandoned wrecking yard. There, he discovers his brother, Ribisi, handcuffed to a car’s steering wheel in a crusher, with Calitri’s cruel ultimatum: steal fifty cars within three days, or Ribisi will meet his maker. Cage reluctantly agrees, sealing his fate.

The first day sees the formation of Cage’s team, comprising seasoned pros like Memphis (Robert Duvall), an old mentor and car-stealing guru, as well as Angelina Jolie and Ribisi himself, who has managed to escape the crusher. The next day is spent scouting potential targets, while the final day brings the actual thefts into focus.

However, Detective James (Delroy Lindo) has been hot on the trail of Calitri’s original trio of Mercedes-Benz models, obtained through a clever ruse involving dealer keys. As Cage’s team prepares to strike again, the detective’s surveillance yields a breakthrough: one of Cage’s cohorts is spotted attempting to procure additional keys from the same dealership. This discovery sets off a chain reaction as the authorities begin tracking their quarry once more.

In the midst of this high-stakes game, Cage finds himself torn between fulfilling his obligation and avoiding detection. It isn’t until he realizes that the original Mercedes-Benz models are still within reach, stored in the police impound lot, that he devises a plan to claim them and salvage his operation’s chances. With time running out, Cage must now navigate the treacherous landscape of deception, danger, and desperation.

As the stakes escalate, the elusive thief (Cage) finds himself on the cusp of completing his impressive collection of 49 cars - but one particular challenge remains: snagging a rare 1967 Mustang Shelby GT. This prized possession has consistently eluded Cage’s grasp, and he’s determined to finally get his hands on it. The thrill of the hunt proves short-lived, however, as the police arrive at the scene, setting off a high-speed chase that leaves a trail of chaos in its wake. With the authorities hot on his heels, Cage resorts to unorthodox measures, utilizing an auto transporter’s ramp to leapfrog over traffic and make his escape.

When he finally arrives at Calitri’s doorstep 12 minutes late, the cunning collector toys with Cage, dangling the promise of sparing his brother’s life while secretly plotting his demise. As Calitri’s henchmen move in for the kill, Delroy intervenes, dispatching them and sending the trio into a violent showdown within the warehouse.

Calitri finds himself at gunpoint, poised to deliver the fatal blow to Delroy - but Cage seizes the opportunity to throw himself at the ruthless collector, sending Calitri tumbling to his death from the catwalk. In a twist of fate, Delroy’s initial intention was to arrest Cage for auto theft, yet he instead decides to let him go, acknowledging Cage’s heroism in saving his life.

As a gesture of gratitude, Delroy reveals the location of the remaining 49 stolen cars, and the film concludes with Cage and his gang celebrating their victory at Duvall’s shop - a barbecue marked by a thoughtful gift: a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT, ripe for restoration. With the newly restored classic purring smoothly beneath them, Cage and Jolie embark on a leisurely drive, the thrill of the chase finally behind them.
