In the mid-1970s, charismatic English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) share an intense rivalry in Formula 1 racing. Driving vehicles that are little more than gas-filled, rolling bombs, Hunt and Lauda burn up the track, all the while pushing themselves to the breaking point of physical and mental endurance. Meanwhile, the women (Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara) in their lives can only watch as both drivers risk death with every lap.

Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Howard creates a persuasive sense of the time and place, and the race sequences are impressively mounted. This is thrillingly tense stuff, even if you know how the story panned out. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online While it has its moments of sentimentality, the film as a whole is rather shallow and fails to capture the soul of either man. Rated: C Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk This thrilling drama is no more for petrol-heads only than Titanic is solely of interest to historic ship enthusiasts. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) it works as a friendship rivalry story more than as a racing movie Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 3, 2025 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Rush is the year's biggest surprise that almost feels like it came out of left field. For a sport that is anything but popular in the U.S., Ron Howard captures the thrill of Formula-1. Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …an excellent two-man biopic from a literate Peter Morgan script… Rated: 4/5 Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

The lead actors deliver outstanding performances, and the casting is spot-on. The movie score adds to the experience. A must-watch! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Nashville I Rush managed to pull the fascination out of cars, no matter who's watching. Hemsworth's good but Bruhl's such an unusual but intriguing watch...the whole story was just so well structured with people who are fun, entertaining and not overused. The music as well was a huge part of the film's appeal. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
