On the high-stakes tracks of Formula 1, a washed-up racer gets a shot at redemption in F1 The Movie, a high-octane drama from Apple Original Films.
Available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD starting October 7, 2025, and already out for digital purchase, this film from director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a 1990s racing phenom pulled back into the sport after a near-fatal crash. Paired with rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) under team owner Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), Sonny navigates fierce competition and personal demons. The cast, including Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Lewis Hamilton, shines, though the story’s emotional beats sometimes jostle against its relentless pace. Shot during real Grand Prix weekends, the film captures the sport’s raw intensity.
The 4K HDR visuals and Hans Zimmer’s pulse-pounding score make every race visceral. Extras include “Inside the ‘F1 The Movie’ Table Read,” recounting the cast’s Silverstone gathering, “The Anatomy of a Crash,” detailing a gripping crash sequence, and “Lewis Hamilton: Producer,” highlighting his role in shaping the film’s authenticity. Other featurettes explore the innovative filming at real F1 events and the detailed APXGP garage designs. Available with audio in English, Canadian French, and Latin Spanish, this release offers racing fans a thrilling, if occasionally crowded, ride.
F1 The Movie is available now for digital purchase and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
