I was watching a movie last night, where in the opening scene, a getaway driver escapes the cops. In the meanwhile, the driver, seemingly randomly, kept listening to the score of the local football game. At the end of the chase, the driver pulls into a parking ramp where the game has just ended - obfuscating his vehicle in a sea of fans leaving the game. (It's worth noting that there's still conflict, but this was the first example that came to mind for me.)

_Driver_. That scene struck me mostly because it was the rare example of a director trying to make chase conventions work in a contemporary setting, rather than pretend cellphones, radios, cameras, and police helicopters don't exist.
