The Italian Job is a 2003 American heist action film directed by F. Gary Gray with a screenplay by Donna Powers and Wayne Powers. The film stars an ensemble cast consisting of Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def, and Donald Sutherland. Inspired by the 1969 British film, but with an original story, the plot follows a motley crew of thieves who plan to steal gold from a former associate who double-crossed them.
