Plot

The film concerns "Memphis" (Nicolas Cage), a former master car thief forced to return to his former trade and steal fifty specified cars for crime boss Raymond Vincent Calitri (Christopher Eccleston), who is threatening to kill Memphis' brother, Kip (Giovanni Ribisi), because Kip had taken a contract but failed to fulfill it (a stolen Porsche Carrera was chased to Kip's warehouse and the collected cars were impounded).

Memphis now has to fulfill the contract and so reassembles his old crew, also joined by Kip's crew.

With Detective Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) breathing down their necks, they decide to steal all the cars in one night, to reduce the chances of being caught.

But, the police already know about the boost and, after cracking a bloke at the Mercedes dealership, who had earlier supplied Kip's crew with the special laser cut keys for a Mercedes, set a trap to catch them in action. It thus turns out to be a high action drama of a very long night.

Also featured are Angelina Jolie as "Sway", Robert Duvall as "Otto", and former footballer Vinnie Jones as "Sphinx".

The list of cars

Calitri gives Raines a list of 50 cars that he wants delivered before time runs out. There are two slightly differing lists of cars, one from the informational booklet that came with the DVD, and one that is sourced from within the movie itself, both are listed below. The most common discrepancy is different model years, however there are two vehicles which are unique to their respective lists. Each of the cars is given a girl's name as an identifying code.
