A Formula One driver comes out of retirement to mentor and team up with a younger driver in one of the most anticipated movie releases of the year.
Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s, has a horrible crash, forcing him to retire from Formula One and start racing in other disciplines. A Formula One team owner and friend, Ruben (Javier Bardem), contacts Hayes and asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua "Noah" Pearce (Damson Idris) for the Apex Grand Prix team. The cast also features Kerry Condon (‘The Banshees of Inisherin’) as the Technical Director of the team and Kim Bodnia (‘The Bridge’, ‘Killing Eve’) as the Team Principal. Directed by Joseph Kosinski who brought us ‘Oblivion’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, so expect this to be a cinematic tour de force, blending intense drama, high-speed action and intricate storytelling. Look out for some amazing cameos, as all ten Formula One teams and their drivers in the 2023 season appear as themselves including: Lewis Hamilton and George Russell (Mercedes), Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez (Red Bull Racing) as well as Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. (Ferrari). Hans Zimmer has done the soundtrack for the film, so you know you will be coming out of the cinema fully energised.
