Blue Streak (1999)

Corrected entry: In a scene near the end, the truck with the drugs in is lifted with an electro-magnet by its roof. Surely the sheet-steel metal of the roof is not strong enough to carry the weight of the truck without ripping it away from its fastenings?

Correction: The roof of any vehicle does have structural support beams that the sheet metal is welded to. A magnet can and does pick up a vehicle. I have witnessed this happen many times at salvage yards.

Agreed. Scrapyards use giant electromagnets to pick up cars all the time.

Correction: This was obviously as well planned operation and as such, the drug lord probably made sure that the truck could handle the magnet.
