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 loves blurring after-images, retina-stabbing lights, decal numbers, logos, stats, on-screen charts, night skies full of endless fireworks and the polished gleam of stationary state-of-the-art racing cars.

All eyes on Brad Pitt as he takes Formula One for a spin and makes sure we never lose sight of what’s human and striving behind the wheel.

The cars may be the stars, but the camera team, led by Top Gun: Maverick cinematographer Claudio Miranda, are the wizards who keep the wheels turning.

This works as a duology with writer/director Joseph Kosinski’s last film, Top Gun 2: There’s Still Lead in This Pencil! I thought that movie was the most egregious massaging of the aging white male ego, but I stand corrected.

While Brad Pitt effortlessly conveys Sonny's turmoil and edge, it's the breathtaking racing scenes that pack the hardest punch. Oh, and using a Led Zeppelin classic to kick things off isn't a bad idea at all.

Easily the best sports film of the year and firmly establishes Joseph Kosinski is one of the most consistent and skilled filmmakers of his generation.

Didn’t love the “burning man” scene…and didn’t like the sexuality they need to put in even though they were animals.

The F1 movie was absolutely incredible! It delivered one of the best movie experiences I’ve had in a long time. Sitting in the Ford X seats made it feel even more immersive — like I was right in the middle of the action. I would rewatch this movie anytime, over and over again. It was fun, exciting, and completely engaging from start to finish. I loved every minute of it. I think everyone should see this movie. I definitely recommend it!
