In the 1990s, Sonny Hayes was Formula 1's most promising driver until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, the owner of a struggling Formula 1 team convinces Sonny to return to racing and become the best in the world. Driving alongside the team's hotshot rookie, Sonny soon learns that the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
This movie was great! It was very much a throwback kind of a movie with the good character development in terms of old friends, teammates overcoming stuff, romance, etc all balanced just right. And the racing stuff was filmed in a way that made you feel like you were there in the car getting all tense throughout. At no point did I think I would come into the summer movie season and as of the 4th of July very emphatically saying that this was my favorite movie of the year so far.
I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out. It was a great ride across the board and a throwback to what made going to the movies feel so rewarding / enjoyable.
