12 of the Best Chase Scenes in Movie History (The Hollywood Reporter)

The art of the chase has changed drastically over the course of Hollywood history, shifting as new technologies and styles allowed filmmakers to push the boundaries of what it means for a character to narrowly escape. We've highlighted a dozen of the best examples spanning seven decades below, from the steep hills of San Francisco to remote treasure hunts in Egypt, lost cornfields in the middle of the country and high-rise buildings across Europe.

The best chase scenes choreograph high-stakes acting with deft camera work, graceful editing and a score that underlines the sequence perfectly. Watch for the nimble turns of Ansel Elgort's Baby Driver in Baby Driver, the delightful music from Julian Nott in Wallace and Gromit's The Wrong Trousers or the beloved fearlessness of Tom Cruise as he performs his own stunts in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
