F1: The Movie Set to Rev Up Cinema on June 27, 2025

Los Angeles, CA – Academy Award-winning actor Brad Pitt is gearing up for the release of his latest film, “F1: The Movie,” which hits theaters on June 27, 2025. The high-speed drama is directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on “Top Gun: Maverick,” and also stars Javier Bardem and Damson Idris.

The film tells the gripping story of Sonny Hayes, played by Pitt, a former Formula 1 driver whose promising career was cut short by a tragic accident. Thirty years later, Sonny is pulled back into the world of F1 by his former teammate, Ruben Cervantes, portrayed by Bardem, who is struggling to save his decaying team, Apex GP.

“F1: The Movie” focuses on the intense relationship between Sonny and his young teammate, Joshua Pearce, played by Idris. The narrative explores themes of competition, redemption, and the unique dynamics that pit teammates against one another in the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing.

Filmed during actual Grand Prix weekends, the production involved collaboration with real F1 teams and drivers, including Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. This authenticity is integral to the film, with scenes shot at iconic locations like Silverstone and Yas Marina.

Pitt expressed his excitement about the project during a recent press conference in Mexico City, calling it a “dream come true.” He emphasized how director Kosinski’s vision of using real race cars during live events added depth to the experience.

Early screenings have garnered warm receptions, with critics praising its emotional pacing and thrilling automotive sequences. Drew Taylor from The Wrap described the film as “absolutely incredible,” while Tim Chan of Penske Media remarked on its “strong emotional core.”

The film’s release has been highly anticipated, with multiple fan-first screenings already sold out, indicating strong interest from both racing fans and cinema-goers alike. Alongside Pitt and Idris, the cast features actors Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies, while the soundtrack promises exciting contributions from artists like Ed Sheeran and Tate McRae.

Fans can look forward to diving deep into the thrilling yet resilient storyline of “F1: The Movie” and its immersive portrayal of the racing world, reinforcing Brad Pitt’s status as a leading man in cinema.
