Overview
Charlie’s got a ‘job’ to do. Having just left prison he finds one of his friends has attempted a high-risk job in Torino, Italy, right under the nose of the mafia. Charlie’s friend doesn’t get very far, so Charlie takes over the ‘job’. Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars, and a bus, he hopes to bring Torino to a standstill, steal a fortune in gold and escape in the chaos.

Viewing Notes
Also got a rise outta the G-Rated original The Italian Job. MPAA ratings definitely had different criteria back then b/c this is hardly what I’d call “G-Rated”. But it is a great Michael Caine crime romp (and better than the remake, if that even needs to be said).
