F1® The Movie Is Streaming Now on Sunset – Brad Pitt Takes the Wheel in the High-Speed Blockbuster
The wait is finally over—F1® The Movie is now streaming on Sunset. After a red-hot theatrical run earlier this summer, Joseph Kosinski’s adrenaline-charged racing epic has shifted gears from the big screen to your screen, delivering all the high-octane drama, raw emotion, and racing spectacle straight into your living room.
Starring Brad Pitt in one of the most celebrated roles of his career, F1® The Movie is more than just a sports drama—it’s a love letter to Formula 1 racing itself, blending Hollywood storytelling with the visceral, real-world intensity of the track.
The Story: A Comeback Like No Other
At the center of F1® The Movie is Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a former Formula 1 star who has been out of the sport for years. When a struggling team, APXGP, calls on him to return, Sonny finds himself back in the driver’s seat—not just to revive his own legacy, but to mentor rookie sensation Joshua Pearce (played by rising star Damson Idris).
The film dives into the ruthless rivalries, unforgiving speed, and behind-the-scenes politics that make F1 one of the most dramatic sports in the world. From heart-stopping race sequences to the emotional weight of redemption and mentorship, F1® The Movie doesn’t just show Formula 1—it puts you inside it.
How It Was Filmed: Hollywood Meets Real Racing
One of the film’s biggest talking points is its authenticity. Unlike traditional racing films built on green screens, F1® The Movie was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends with modified F2 cars designed to mimic the look and feel of true Formula 1 machines.
Director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) worked closely with teams and drivers, ensuring every scene captured the real spirit of the sport. Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton even joined the production as a co-producer, making sure that the racing sequences were as accurate and respectful to the sport as possible.
Star Power in the Fast Lane
The cast alone is worth the price of admission. Brad Pitt delivers one of his most physical and charismatic performances, embodying a seasoned racer with grit and vulnerability. Damson Idris shines as the ambitious rookie Pearce, while Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies round out a world-class supporting cast.
Behind the camera, Kosinski re-teams with legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, giving the film the blockbuster polish you’d expect. And with Hans Zimmer composing the score, every lap, every turn, and every heartbeat comes to life with cinematic intensity.
From Box Office Hit to Streaming Favorite
After premiering in IMAX screenings on June 23, 2025, and rolling out nationwide on June 27, F1® The Movie quickly raced to box office success. Critics praised its authenticity, its performances, and its breathtaking cinematography, while audiences made it the highest-grossing film of Brad Pitt’s career.
Now, with its arrival on Sunset, fans can experience the film in a new way—rewinding the epic race sequences, soaking in Zimmer’s score, and diving into the passion project that has become a defining moment for both Pitt and modern sports cinema.
