More details on F1 The Movie
F1: The Movie burns onto screens with adrenaline-fueled precision and cinematic flair. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski and penned by Ehren Kruger, the film stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 phenom who raced with legends like Ayrton Senna, pulled out of retirement to drive for a failing team that is close to getting dismissed because of it's poor performance. Sonny is joined by rookie sensation Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris. The film focuses on Hayes' redemption as a racer and how, once diminished from the racing track, he returns with victory and all the more talent.
