Rush (2013)

It's a shame that English Formula One hero James Hunt died before seeing the film Rush, which depicted the peak of his racing career. He would have been delighted to see none other than Chris Hemsworth portraying him. Rush is a biographical sports film released in 2013 that follows the Hunt–Lauda rivalry between British James Hunt and Austrian Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula One season.

Rush is not simply a biopic of two of Formula One racing's most daring rivals, but also a thrilling exploration of the sport's make-or-break danger, with no margin for error. Rush was a big hit at the box office. The film has an approval rating of 89 percent on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 235 reviews with an average rating of 7.50/10. According to the website's critical consensus, "A sleek, slick, well-oiled machine, Rush is a finely crafted sports drama with exhilarating race sequences and strong performances from Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl".
