F1 THE MOVIE (12) 155 mins Director: Joseph Kosinski Starring: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem Synopsis: Dubbed "the greatest that never was," Sonny Hayes 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, 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, 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. Awards: Reviews: "Pitt aside, the film is structured like a routine sports movie: a crashes-and-revivals narrative that takes in several international grand prix... while doing exactly what Bruckheimer promised in delivering the most realistic racing film yet." *** THE TIMES "Kosinski has found some rhymes between blockbuster movie making and Formula 1: another epic spectacle reliant on teamwork, rare talents and a vast stack of cash." **** FINANCIAL TIMES "Switch off your brain and F1 will overwhelm your senses with spectacle, sonics and just enough human drama to hold it all together." **** TIME OUT "There’s a fair bit of macho silliness here, but the panache with which director Joseph Kosinski puts it together is very entertaining. Condon is a vital fuel ingredient and to a F1 non-believer like me, the result is surreal and spectacular." **** GUARDIAN
