Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse.

Moviegoers are saying
This F1 racing spectacle has audiences gripping their theater seats so hard they're convinced they could drift out of the parking lot, with Brad Pitt's charismatic return to form delivering heart-pounding racing sequences that make viewers feel like they're actually behind the wheel at 200mph. While the formulaic plot armor and predictable redemption arc earn eye-rolls, the immersive IMAX/4DX experience and authentic F1 authenticity have fans calling it the best racing movie since Gran Turismo.

HOLY MARY ON A PIT STOP!!! I left that theater fully convinced I was born to hit 200mph in a carbon fiber rocket. I almost tried drifting in the parking lot of the theater but ended up with a torn tire—that’s the start of my beautiful string of errors on the road to becoming an F1 driver. Brad Pitt looked at a simple tire and I felt emotions. Someone call Ferrari!!! I’m free next weekend!!! I am SPEED. Ka-CHOWWW!!! ⚡️🏁💥🍿🛞🔥

I loves this movie. Thanks T-mobile for the ticket for cheap, but I would have seen this even if it wasn't for t-mobile. Oscar worthy

The real engine that keeps the movie moving isn’t the cliched script or the spectacular race footage. It’s Pitt.

The effectiveness of the film’s overall aesthetic cannot be understated: what F1 lacks in narrative development it more than compensates for with its thrill-ride aspects. Watching the film, you may not believe you’re in a racing car but you will feel like you’re doing more than passively sitting in a theater seat.

This film doesn’t rumble through its 156-minute runtime; it flies by. And though “F1” has little to say about the sport’s past, present, or future, the propulsive ride it engineers isn’t a wasted diversion.
