About This Movie

Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) offers a gritty dive into the world of car theft with a distinctively raw charm. H.B. Halicki, who also stars as Maindrian Pace, brings a unique authenticity to the role—his passion for cars is evident throughout. The film has this palpable atmosphere of urgency, especially as Pace's team juggles their dual lives. The practical effects are a standout; those car chases and stunts feel so real, lacking the over-the-top CGI that would come later. The pacing keeps you on edge, with tension building nicely as they close in on the elusive 'Eleanor.'
