The climactic gold heist in the 1969 film The Italian Job is set in Turin.
The plot follows British criminals who plan to steal a shipment of gold in the Italian city. Turin was an especially fitting location because it was an important industrial center and the home of Fiat, whose small cars became central to the film's chase sequences. The production used streets, tunnels and landmarks around the city to give the robbery a distinctive geographic identity.
Peter Collinson directed the film, and Michael Caine stars as Charlie Croker. The movie's famous ending leaves the stolen gold balanced precariously in a coach on a mountain road. The 2003 remake moved the story to Los Angeles and used Mini Coopers in a different escape plot, so the two versions should not be treated as having the same setting or sequence.
