Land Rovers have been loved by the royal family and other world-famous celebrities 

for decades, but they have also been a hit in Hollywood, with many blockbuster movies having featured vehicles from the British car manufacturer over the years.

Here are just a few of our favourites:

Tomb Raider

The 2001 picture starring Angelina Jolie, Tomb Raider, also had another big name on set – the Land Rover Defender TD5 110. 

This car was customised for the film, fitted with diamond plate trimming, an underwater snorkel, and other exciting accessories, which made it a perfect match for central character, Lara Croft.

Cars 2

Parents who have watched the Disney Pixar film Cars 2 will know that Range Rover features in the flick. The car is a character called Mike Lorengine, who is bodyguard to the Queen, which is fitting given that Jaguar Land Rover has a royal warrant and has been a favourite among the monarchy since 1951.

James Bond

The James Bond franchise has included Land Rover vehicles in many of its films, including A View To A Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Casino Royale, and most recently, No time To Die.

In the 2021 flick, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, the Land Rover Series III was used, as well as Defenders, Range Rover Sport SVRs, and a Range Rover Classic. 

Mission Impossible Fallout

A Land Rover Defender 110 200tdi had a role to play in Mission Impossible Fallout; identified by the snorkel on its right hand side. 

The brand’s frequent appearance in action films shows just how durable and robust these vehicles are.

The Italian Job

While The Italian Job is better known for featuring Minis, it also highlights another British car manufacturer – Land Rover. 

Those who have watched the 1969 film will remember the Series IIA Station Wagon that had to navigate the city of Turin in some of the movie’s most exciting scenes.
