A sports blockbuster about a racer (Brad Pitt) who dominated the Formula 1 tracks until a serious crash put an end to his dream. Years later, a former colleague turns to him, urgently needing an experienced ace to train a young, cocky driver, Pierce, and save the team.

This old-school racing drama sensationally raced into the year’s top box office hits. Arguably, it’s the most spectacular racing movie of modern times. The filmmakers used real race cars for the shoot, rented Grand Prix circuits, and took part in actual Formula 1 ceremonies. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris drove themselves, relying almost entirely on minimal stunt doubles. Formula 1 doesn’t just capture the spirit of the sporting spectacle—it lets you feel like a part of it, even if just for a moment.
