In 60 Seconds that really hooked me was a disquisition on contract law, of all things. Bad guy Christopher Eccleston has a contract with car thief Giovanni Ribisi. Unfortunately, while stealing a Porsche from a showroom floor, Ribisi attracts the attention of the police. He escapes arrest, but the cops capture and impound the cars he's stolen so far. In walks Nicolas Cage, Ribisi's big brother and retired master car thief.
Cage recognizes that the contract is in breach.
He offers the equitable remedy of recission. Eccleston rejects the offer, instead requiring specific performance. Cage must complete the terms of the contract and deliver the cars in four days. As a way to open a movie, this isn't as snappy as Tom Cruise standing on a big rock and throwing his sunglasses away before they explode. That is of no consequence.
