F1: THE MOVIE

Director: Joseph Kosinski
Starring: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Lewis Hamilton

Brad Pitt knows what audiences want out of him. He’s charming, slick, and easy to watch on screen. He plays right into that starring as a retired F1 racer in F1: The Movie. His character, Sonny Hayes, wins a race at Daytona and it almost seems too easy for the veteran racer. He decides to hang it up and retire despite the accolades. It’s not long before he’s approached by his old buddy, Ruben Cervantes (Bardem), who corners him in a rundown laundromat and tries to convince him to get back on the track. Ruben is the owner of a the APX Formula One team and desperately needs to win if he doesn’t want his team sold out under him. He needs Sonny’s history and determination behind the wheel paired with a young rookie named Joshua Pearce. He’s played by newcomer Damson Idris. Sonny agrees, and all eyes are on the unlikely pair at a time when their cocky and arrogant attitudes need to take a back seat for the good of the sport. Kerry Condon also stars in the film as their lead technician who is making history as the first female technician of a Formula One team. In theaters
