F1 The Movie – IMAX 2D | June 27, 2025
Experience the roar of engines and the thrill of competition as F1 The Movie brings the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing to IMAX 2D screens this summer. Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” this adrenaline-fueled action drama stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a legendary driver whose career was derailed by a near-fatal crash. Thirty years later, he’s lured back into the sport for one final shot at glory—and redemption.
Plot Overview
In the 1990s, Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was the rising star of Formula 1—until a tragic accident sidelined his career forever. Now a nomadic racer-for-hire, Sonny lives on the fringes of the racing world, haunted by what might have been. When former teammate and team owner Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) offers him a chance to resurrect a struggling F1 team, Sonny reluctantly returns to the paddock for one last great race.

Partnered with hotshot rookie Joshua “Noah” Pearce (Damson Idris), Sonny must navigate cutthroat teammates, ruthless rivals, and the ghosts of his past. As the season unfolds, he discovers that in Formula 1, friendship and rivalry are two sides of the same coin—and that true redemption can only come when you trust those who race alongside you.
