Apple’s blockbuster ‘F1 The Movie’ now available to buy or rent

Apple Original Films’ “F1 The Movie” is now available on premium video on demand and electronic sell-through.
Apple Original Films announced today that its high-octane summer blockbuster, “F1 The Movie,” is now available to experience at home on premium video on demand and for digital purchase, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, beginning today, August 22, on participating digital retailers.
Hailing from director Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, “F1 The Movie” is the highest-grossing original feature of the year, and the biggest opening for an original live-action film in the U.S. in the last five years. Recently rereleased in IMAX, “F1 The Movie” will soon surpass $600 million at the global box office and is Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing feature to date. The film boasts an A CinemaScore, along with a soaring 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and continues to fuel widespread acclaim as the most authentic racing feature ever made.
Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

“F1 The Movie” also stars Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia and Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competed against the titans of the sport. The film is produced by Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time Formula 1® world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman.

Kosinski directs from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger with the story by Kosinski and Kruger. The film is executive produced by Daniel Lupi. Collaborating with Kosinski behind the scenes are his creative team, including director of photography Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, casting director Lucy Bevan and composer Hans Zimmer.
Beyond the box office, “F1 The Movie” has ignited a global music phenomenon with F1 The Album, the star-studded, high-octane soundtrack that has surged past 650,000 albums sold worldwide and over one billion global streams. Currently dominating Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart with seven of the top ten tracks, the album is powered by Tate McRae’s two-time VMA-nominated smash hit “Just Keep Watching.” With over four billion views across short-form video platforms, F1 The Album has become a defining music moment of 2025 and a vital part of the film’s cultural impact.
