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.

F1 slowly-but-surely wears out its welcome as it progresses into a padded-out and rather repetitive midsection...

F1...is simply visually spectacular, and although it recycles the mold of other films set on the circuits of the world of competitive motorsports, it boasts high production quality in camera direction...[Full review in Spanish]

There’s no denying that Joseph Kosinski’s “F1” is a feat of technical precision. Sometimes, that’s all a summer movie needs to soar. Check your brain at the door and envelop yourself in its frenzied images.

Rated: B+

Very interesting characters and a compelling story. I’m not a Formula 1 fan but the movie made the racing world accessible and interesting even to me.

Great feel good movie. Awesome shots. To any true F1 fans just need to turn off their brains when they watch. To the casual fans, have fun, but just know it's a movie not a documentary.
