F1 THE MOVIE (2025)
The Summer Blockbuster from Apple Original Films, Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Director Joseph Kosinski Arrives on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on October 7
“F1 The Movie,” the high-octane summer blockbuster from Apple Original Films and the filmmakers from Top Gun: Maverick, will be available to purchase on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD beginning on October 7.
Hailing from director Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, “F1 The Movie" is the highest grossing original feature of the year. Recently crossing over $624 million at the global box office, “F1 The Movie" is also Brad Pitt’s highest grossing feature to date. The film boasts an A CinemaScore, along with a soaring 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and continues to fuel wide acclaim as the most authentic racing feature ever made.
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.
“F1 The Movie” also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competed against the titans of the sport. Hailing from Apple Studios, the film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time FORMULA 1® world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman.
Kosinski directs from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, story by Kosinski & Kruger. The film is executive produced by Daniel Lupi. Collaborating with Kosinski behind the scenes are his creative team, including director of photography Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, casting director Lucy Bevan and composer Hans Zimmer.
“F1 The Movie” continues to be available for Digital ownership on participating digital platforms, including AppleTV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango At Home, and more.
