Angelina Jolie appeared in her 1st summer blockbuster, Gone In 60 Seconds In 2000, in which Jolie played Sarah "Sway" Wayland, ex-girlfriend of car-thief Nicolas Cage.

The role was small, and the Washington Post criticized that "all she does in this movie is stand around, cooling down, modeling those fleshy, pulsating muscle-tubes that nest so provocatively around her teeth."

Angelina Jolie later explained that the film was a welcome relief after the heavy role of Lisa Rowe, and it became her highest grossing movie up until then, earning $237 million internationally.

Jolie reprised her role as Lara Croft in "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" in 2003. The sequel, while not as lucrative as the original, earned $156 million at the international box-office.

Later that year Angelina Jolie starred in "Beyond Borders", a film about aid workers in Africa. Although reflecting Angelina"s real-life interest in promoting humanitarian relief, the film was critically and financially unsuccessful. The Los Angeles Times wrote, "Jolie, as she did in her Oscar-winning role in Girl, Interrupted, can bring electricity and believability to roles that have a reality she can understand. She can also, witness the Lara Croft films, do acknowledged cartoons. But the limbo of a hybrid character, a badly written cardboard person in a fly-infested, blood-and-guts world, completely defeats her."

Angelina Jolie in 2006, she and Brad Pitt flew to Haiti and visited a school supported by Yéle Haïti, a charity founded by Haitian-born hip hop musician Wyclef Jean.

While filming A Mighty Heart in India, Angelina Jolie met with Afghan and Burmese refugees in New Delhi.
