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. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He'll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition--and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Critics Consensus

Driven by Brad Pitt's laidback magnetism and sporting a souped-up engine courtesy of Joseph Kosinski's kinetic direction, F1 The Movie brings vintage cool across the finish line.

Audience Says

Fueled by Brad Pitt’s effortless charisma, F1 The Movie, is a velociously loud and exceedingly exciting motion picture that deserves to be experienced on the biggest screen possible.

F1: The Movie is not just a movie, it's a film constructed to look like entertainment, with all of the bells and whistles ringing so loudly you'll forget that what you're watching has very little in the way of actual story.

Jonathan Dean

The Times (UK)

Pitt aside, the film is structured like a routine sports movie: a crashes-and-revivals narrative that takes in several international grand prix... while doing exactly what Bruckheimer promised in delivering the most realistic racing film yet.

Rated: 3/5

The Atlantic

Sonny’s quest to prove his doubters wrong resembles the arc of many a sports drama. But Kosinski elevates that journey by capturing racing in all of its gorgeous, peculiar glory -- there’s never been a portrait of Formula One quite like it.

Armond White

National Review

Watching Brad Pitt play a Millennial duke of hazard causes dissatisfaction, especially when Sonny’s flaws are as superficial as Cruise’s in Maverick. For all the film’s commotion, its vicarious “excitement” is unmoving.

Film Threat

The story may be light, but the execution is strong, and the performances are engaging. It’s one of my go-to movies to see again this year, and it’s worth watching in a premium format.

Rated: 8.5/10

I am an avid F1 fan. Although I did see a few discrepancies, I thought this was the most authentic motorsport movie that I have seen as of yet. Thoroughly enjoyed it! The drivers were such good sports to allow the filmmakers and actors and everyone involved to invade their turf and space! Loved it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
