Brad Pitt Races for Redemption in Apple Original Films’ F1®, Coming Summer 2025
Start your engines—Brad Pitt is speeding onto the big screen in F1®, an adrenaline-fueled blockbuster from Apple Original Films and the creative team behind Top Gun: Maverick. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the high-octane drama will hit IMAX and theaters worldwide via Warner Bros. Pictures, rolling out internationally on June 25, 2025, before its domestic debut on June 27, 2025.
At the heart of F1® is the story of Sonny Hayes (Pitt), a once-promising Formula 1 phenom whose career was derailed by a near-fatal accident in the 1990s. Three decades later, he’s a lone-wolf racer-for-hire—until his former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), now the owner of a struggling F1 team, convinces him to get back in the driver’s seat for one last shot at greatness. Standing in his way? Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), a fiery young rookie determined to forge his own legacy. As the engines ignite, Sonny must face not only the breakneck speeds of the track but also the ghosts of his past—and the brutal truth that in Formula 1, your greatest rival is often your own teammate.
Featuring a powerhouse supporting cast, including Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, F1® takes authenticity to the next level, having been filmed during actual Grand Prix weekends, embedding Pitt and his co-stars in the heat of real-world competition.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner, Dede Gardner, and Chad Oman, with a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, F1® boasts a top-tier creative team, including cinematographer Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, and composer Hans Zimmer.
With real racing, high-stakes drama, and an A-list cast, F1® is set to be the must-watch action epic of 2025. Buckle up—because this race for redemption is about to take off.
