Marking the 50th anniversary of the film in June 2019, stunt drivers in red, white and blue Coopers recreated parts of the film's car-chase around Turin at the grounds of Mini's Oxford factory.

A charity event titled The Italian Job, founded in 1990 and held annually, was inspired by the film as of 2020, it had raised nearly £3,000,000.

The film itself was later given a video game adaptation in 2001, before receiving a remake in 2003. The popularity of The Italian Job led to several parodies and allusions in other films and productions, including the 2005 episode of The Simpsons titled ' The Italian Bob', and a re-enactment of the Mini Cooper car-chase in the MacGyver episode 'Thief of Budapest'. Several elements became symbolic cult features, including the cliffhanger ending, and Caine's famous line about only blowing the doors off. The Italian Job became a cult symbol of British filmography and was ranked favourably in the top 100 British films by the British Film Institute. The film proved a success upon its release, earning critical acclaim amongst critics for the performances by Caine and Coward, the film's reflection of British culture from the period, and the climactic car chase. The soundtrack was composed by Quincy Jones, featuring the songs ' On Days Like These', sung by Matt Monro over the opening credits, and 'Getta Bloomin' Move On' (usually referred to as 'The Self-Preservation Society', after its chorus) during the climactic car chase, which featured Caine among its singers. In addition to Caine, the cast also included Benny Hill, Raf Vallone, Tony Beckley, and Noël Coward the film was Coward's last before his retirement from acting.

The film's plot centres around 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 the city of Turin, Italy, in an armoured security truck. The Italian Job is a 1969 British comedy caper film, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, produced by Michael Deeley, directed by Peter Collinson, and starring Michael Caine.
