After successfully dabbling in the world of Top Gun with the critical and commercial hit Maverick, director Joseph Kosinski seems to be delivering his
own take on another Tom Cruise classic, Days of Thunder, with racing drama F1.
Set in the world of Formula One, the film stars Brad Pitt as an aging driver recruited to partner a hotshot young racer (Damson Idris) as a fictional team takes on the real life giants of the sport like
Ferrari and Mercedes.
The film also stars Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim
Bodnia and Samson Kayo.
F1 is in UK/ROI cinemas from June 25th.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis 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 ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
