What happens in The Italian Job?
Cinema-goers with a slight interest in cars and iconic movies will know about The Italian Job. The British film has collected a multitude of fans and contemporary follow ups of the picture, released way back in the 1960, have since been filmed starring superb actors like Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg. The main role is played by Michael Caine. He plays Charlie - an ex-convict who brings together a team of mates to steal gold bars from the Italin city of Torino with the assistance of a bus, two Jaguars and a trio of Mini Coopers. What ensues is a series of car chases through the highways, rooftops, rivers, sewers and city streets. The gold is successfully robbed by the team but their bus starts skidding on the road and they are left wavering over a cliff edge - the end credits begin to roll as the thieves work out how they will escape with their loot.

The Fast and the Furious and what it's about.
Exciting and thrilling, The Fast and the Furious is centred on a multi-tiered motor racing story. The central figure is actor Paul Walker and the film examines the Asian automotive import industry. A police officer called Brian O'Connor attempts to track down a selection of robbers, who use cars that have been powered up to steal goods, by infiltrating a local street racing gang. He gets caught up in an underground desert racing championship in a 1970 Dodge Charger model and begins to race ex-convict Dom Toretto. In the final scenes Dom is injured and Brian lets him run off instead of charging him for his crimes because he has developed a friendship with him throughout the course of the movie. The movie fulfils its aim to provide cinema-goers with plenty of entertainment and drama.
