The Italian Job is a 1969 British comedy caper film starring Michael Caine. It tells the story of Cockney criminal Charlie Croker, recently released from prison, who forms a gang for the job of stealing a cache of gold bullion being transported through a city in Italy in an armoured security truck.
1. In which Italian city does the robbery take place?
2. How many vehicles are shoved, thrown, or otherwise made to fall down a mountain side?
3. Based on the value of gold when the film was made, and if we assume the total value of the haul was $4 million, how much gold would each of the three getaway Mini Coopers have had to carry?
