F1: The Movie isn’t quite what you’d think of as a Nerdist flick, but it actually is. Nerding out goes far beyond genre entertainment. Just like we (and a lot of you) love MCU, horror, and sci-fi films, we also belong to the community of racing enthusiasts.

And there’s nothing quite like the story of a rising star whose story was cut short by tragedy decades ago only for them to get another shot. That’s what happens with Brad Pitt’s Sonny Hayes, a prodigy who lost his steam after an accident. He comes back thirty years later to help a team from collapsing and forms a relationship with British rookie driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).

From its high-octane racing sequences to the incredible amount of heartbreak and hope in its storyline, F1: The Movie fires on all cylinders straight towards success and is one of the best movies of 2025. Sinners
