This is a Ron Howard film starring Chris Hemsworth as Formula 1 driver James Hunt and Daniel Bruhl as his rival driver Niki Lauda. James and Niki compete for the world champion title in racing, and become enemies that actually need each other. The sport is very dangerous; at 180mph one wrong move and you could die. Based on a true story, this movie takes place during the '70s and follows the two young drivers as they strive for the title and butt heads with each other. James likes girls, partying, and drinking, while Niki is calculated and focused on being the best. A terrible crash burns half of Niki's face and lungs, and leaves him in a hospital bed to watch James win the races he should have been in.
The film is thrilling, and if you're like me who knew nothing about Lauda or Hunt beforehand, the ending is a surprise. For those of you who know the outcome, the movie is still worth a watch. I'm not a racing fanatic, but I still enjoyed watching Niki and James' rivalry play out. Also, it doesn't hurt that Chris Hemsworth is nice to stare at.
