Directed by Ron Howard, the 1970s-set biographical sports film revolves around the fierce rivalry between two highly skilled Formula One drivers – the charming playboy James Hunt (played by Chris Hemsworth) and the perfectionist Austrian Niki Lauda (played by Daniel Brühl). The film focuses on how their intense competition on the racing track pushes both men to their physical and mental limits.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film’s central plot follows the story of Sonny Hayes (played by Brad Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s but slowed down after a devastating crash. Many years later, Sonny is asked by his old friend and struggling F1 team owner, Ruben (played by Javier Bardem), to make a comeback to the racing track and mentor a young and gifted driver, Joshua Pearce (played by Damson Idris). Sonny must now prove he still has what it takes to compete at the sport’s highest level.
