Gone in 60 Seconds is a 1974 American independent action film written, directed, produced by, and starring H. B. Halicki.[2] The film centers on a group of car thieves and the 50 cars they must steal in a matter of days. It is known for having wrecked and destroyed 93 cars in a 40-minute car chase scene, one of the longest in film history. A total of 127 cars were either destroyed or damaged throughout the entirety of the film.[2]

A loose remake with new characters and a different plot was released in 2000, starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.
