The much anticipated F1 roars onto the screen as a turbocharged triumph of spectacle and spirit, delivering a high-octane blend of adrenaline, heart, and cinematic innovation. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and produced by Lewis Hamilton, this high octane blockbuster follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt, Oceans 11), a legendary racer coaxed out of retirement to mentor a struggling Formula One team, APXGP. Alongside him is rising star Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris, Snowfall), a hotshot rookie with something to prove, and team boss Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men), whose faith in Sonny fuels the team’s underdog rise.
The film’s narrative is a classic redemption tale of last chances, but it’s the execution that dazzles. Real F1 circuits, cutting-edge in-car camera work, and a pulse-pounding Hans Zimmer score immerse viewers in the visceral thrill of racing. The chemistry between Pitt and Idris crackles, while Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) adds grit and grace as the team’s technical director. Critics have praised F1 as “Top Gun on wheels” and one of the most authentic racing films ever made. With its blend of emotional horsepower and technical brilliance, F1 is a cinematic first place podium finish. Come and enjoy it on the big screen with powerful sound for the full cinema experience!
