The Italian Job is a playful, comic film about a plan plotted by Charlie Croker to steal a gold consignment from the streets of Turin by creating a mega traffic block. Don't miss the most impactful line of the movie quoted by Charlie "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" which was voted as the best lines of the movie. The movie is wonderful though the end is slightly abrupt with our Charlie boy's last line "Hang on, lads...I've a great idea!"

The 2012 Bollywood movie "Players" was inspired by the story of this movie.
