Apple TV+’s F1: The Movie Out in UK Theatres This Week
F1: The Movie is perhaps one of the most highly anticipated films of the Summer, starring Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Tobias Menzies and Callie Cooke. After a long wait, that saw many behind-the-scenes images come out of their time filming on the most famous race tracks in the world, the film premieres in cinemas worldwide this week. The initial release comes on Wednesday 25th June, with an IMAX release on the 27th.
Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
