Movie plot

Directed by the filmmaker best known for his work on ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, and produced by Hollywood heavyweight Jerry Bruckheimer, the film follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a former Formula 1 driver from the 1990s whose career was derailed by a fatal accident. Decades later, he is given a second shot at glory when his ex-teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), now owner of a struggling F1 team, invites him back to the track. He teams up with rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), to face off against fierce rivalries and put their teamwork to the test on the international circuit.

Box office collections

The film has already become a global phenomenon. The film that earned an estimated $182.8 million in North America, and scored an international collection of $407.7 million, has recorded a total box office haul slightly shy of the $600 million mark. The movie became the No.1 film of 2025 in South Korea, outpacing all local titles. It is also said to be actor Brad Pitt’s biggest-ever release at the box office.
