In the mid-1970s, charismatic English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) share an intense rivalry in Formula 1 racing. Driving vehicles that are little more than gas-filled, rolling bombs, Hunt and Lauda burn up the track, all the while pushing themselves to the breaking point of physical and mental endurance. Meanwhile, the women (Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara) in their lives can only watch as both drivers risk death with every lap.

Rush (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Wendy Ide Times (UK) Howard creates a persuasive sense of the time and place, and the race sequences are impressively mounted. This is thrillingly tense stuff, even if you know how the story panned out. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Rush (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online While it has its moments of sentimentality, the film as a whole is rather shallow and fails to capture the soul of either man. Rated: C Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Rush (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk This thrilling drama is no more for petrol-heads only than Titanic is solely of interest to historic ship enthusiasts. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Rush (2013) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) JD Duran InSession Film Rush is the year's biggest surprise that almost feels like it came out of left field. For a sport that is anything but popular in the U.S., Ron Howard captures the thrill of Formula-1.

Thomas G This is one of best racing movies madeGreat racing tech, however the film presents much more in terms of the contrast of their personalities and professionally racing stylesGreat acting all around, these 2 guys had great chemistry throughout the filmSee it Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Dani G Very nice depiction of a great rivalry, especially one F1 season, with great blend of the sport action, but centered on the drama and the characters, without saturating it to become just a sports movie Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Tom G A really immersive watch, and follows a very interesting story; cleverly done by Howard in terms of getting us to have mixed emotions about both of the films main characters, with both acting like protagonists and antagonists at throughout the film. Where this film slightly falls short is through its provision of a *slight* exaggeration on the personality and bawdiness of James Hunt, as well as subtly feeling somewhat like a documentary instead of a creative piece of work at times. Other than that, an excellent film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Hash L She’s no 06 Corolla I tell ya 🏎️good film great bunch of lads.
