A Story of Speed and Redemption
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film follows fictional Formula 1 veteran Sonny Hayes (Pitt), a retired driver drawn back into the sport to mentor a rookie racer and help revive a struggling team, APXGP. Damson Idris plays rising talent Joshua Pearce, while Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies round out the star-studded cast. Combining character-driven drama with jaw-dropping track action, the movie captures both the danger and exhilaration of Formula 1 racing.
