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.

Coleman Spilde Salon.com 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. Jul 3, 2025 Full Review 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 Jul 2, 2025 Full Review David Sims 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. Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Reginald Ponder reggieponder.com Brad Pitt is tailor-made to play Sonny, who is an interesting if not likable character. His cockiness makes him a bit jarring, but his carefree, almost reckless approach to life is weirdly appealing and captivating. Rated: 3/4 Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Scott Menzel Awards Buzz There’s something refreshing about a film that doesn’t lean heavily on visual effects but instead embraces a familiar, formulaic story elevated by strong performances and exhilarating set pieces. Rated: 8/10 Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Rubén Rosario MiamiArtZine Kosinski tries to rally the troops for the climactic race, which is more engrossing than the rest, but the eleventh-hour burst of energy comes too late in the game.

Timothy H In IMAX this film was fun and entertaining from start to end. At times it was like I was riding on the cars, Brad was relatable and a complex yet capable broken driving genius. Wife and I loved the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Jared M Amazing. Go check it out. This is what going to the movies is supposed to be about Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review jacko Kosinski delivers once again. Hans Zimmer’s score captivates as always and the sound design for the races was great. Pitt brings his natural charisma and “old age” to his character in an entertaining way. Little long but it wasn’t too noticeable by the end Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Jeff B Fun movie! Great in IMAX Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Gordon J Some movies are worth watching again. This is one of them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review munich3500 F-1 IMAX was a great movie going experience. Immersive, good story, a charmer. Worth watching twice in 5 days. 10/10 would recommend whether you know a little or a lot about F1. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
