From Apple Original Films and the visionary team behind Top Gun: Maverick comes F1, a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled feature film starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. Produced by a powerhouse lineup that includes Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time FORMULA 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Chad Oman, this high-octane drama is set to redefine the racing film genre.
At the heart of the story is Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), once hailed as FORMULA 1’s brightest star in the 1990s, until a devastating track accident derailed his meteoric rise. Now, thirty years later, Sonny lives as a nomadic racer-for-hire, far from the glory of his former life. But when his old teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), now the owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team on the brink of collapse, comes calling, Sonny is offered a shot at redemption. Ruben persuades him to return to FORMULA 1 for one final chance to save the team, and reclaim his legacy.
Joining the team is Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), a fearless rookie determined to blaze his own trail. As the engines roar to life, Sonny is thrust into the high-stakes world of FORMULA 1 once more, where past demons resurface and rivalries run deep. In racing, your greatest competitor can often be your own teammate, and the road to redemption is a journey no one can take alone.
Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends to capture the unparalleled intensity and authenticity of the sport, F1 also features an acclaimed supporting cast, including Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem.
Joseph Kosinski directs from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, with Daniel Lupi serving as executive producer. Behind the scenes, Kosinski collaborates with an elite creative team: cinematographer Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, casting director Lucy Bevan, and legendary composer Hans Zimmer.
Apple Original Films proudly presents F1, a Monolith Pictures / Jerry Bruckheimer / Plan B Entertainment / Dawn Apollo Films Production. Distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film will debut in theaters and IMAX nationwide on June 27, 2025, with an international release beginning June 25, 2025. Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild ride.
