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 has the formula for success. It’s got the fuel. Cruise must be smiling as Pitt takes the checkered flag.

Rated: 3/4

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.

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

...racing films that have turned themselves into cult objects...have only sent me into a long yawn. And I'm afraid F1 is no exception. Especially when the track is littered with those obstacles called clichés. [Full review in Spanish]

A project like this, with its gigantic budget and myriad corporate connections, is unlikely to deviate from ... from cliches and formulas. It can’t afford to, as far as its producers are concerned. Too much is at stake to let art and complexity interfere.

If Formula One racing gets a big boost in the next year, just know it was because officials had the good sense to make this very effective Pitt stop.

So good. A great sport and a fantastic dive into the world of f1. The racing shots are incredible. The way the movie was made could be a movie in itself. Brad pit was great but matched by the other driver. Highly worth seeing on the big screen. I’ve seen it twice now and I could be persuaded to see it again.
