F1: The Movie with Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer | Picturehouse

The Love Of Cinema

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer about their new film, F1: The Movie.

Dubbed 'the greatest that never was', Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising racer 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.

Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski brings the same death-defying, edge-of-the-seat thrills to the world of racing in F1: The Movie.
