F1 Set for a Thrilling Arrival in Theaters on June 27
Brad Pitt revs up the excitement in the newly released trailer for the film “F1.” Directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on “Top Gun: Maverick,” the movie showcases Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a seasoned driver aiming for a comeback in the high-octane world of Formula 1 racing.
In the trailer, viewers are introduced to Sonny as he receives an unexpected offer from Ruben Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem, who is the beleaguered owner of a Formula 1 team facing financial ruin. Ruben sees potential in Sonny, despite his troubled past marked by missed opportunities and a reputation as “the best that never was.” He eagerly persuades Sonny to return to the sport, hoping to revive both the team and Sonny’s career.
Sonny’s journey is complicated by his partnership with the ambitious rookie driver, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). The dynamic between the seasoned Hayes and the emerging Pearce hints at a mix of competitiveness and collaboration, adding depth to their on-screen relationship as they navigate the pressures of the racing circuit.
The official synopsis for F1 reads:
“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 derailed his career. Now, thirty years later, he lives as a freelance racer until approached by former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), who is desperate to save his failing team.
Ruben manages to convince Sonny to make one final attempt at success in Formula 1, teaming him up with the talented rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), who is eager to assert his own identity on the track. However, as the competition heats up, Sonny must confront his past, learning that in the world of Formula 1, a teammate can quickly become an opponent, and the quest for redemption often requires navigating a lonely path.
The cast is further enriched by the performances of Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia, who are set to deliver compelling narratives that explore ambition, rivalry, and the drive for greatness.
With its mix of racing adrenaline, intense rivalries, and Brad Pitt’s captivating portrayal, “F1” is poised to offer viewers an unforgettable cinematic experience when it releases in theaters on June 27.
