RUSH: just wondering why this movie isnt showing in our theatres.








A re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between Formula One rivals James Hunt and

Niki Lauda. Rush is a biographical action film directed by Ron Howard and written by

Peter Morgan about the 1976 Formula One season and the rivalry between drivers James Hunt

and Niki Lauda. It stars Chris Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Lauda. The film

premiered in London on September 2, 2013, was shown at the 2013 Toronto International

Film Festival,[6] and was first released theatrically on September 13, 2013

James Hunt and Niki Lauda are two highly skilled race car drivers who first develop a

fierce rivalry in 1970 at a Formula Three race at the Crystal Palace circuit in England,

when both their cars spin out and Hunt eventually wins the race. Hunt is a brash, young

Briton with a penchant of vomiting before every race, while Lauda is a cool, calculating

technical genius who relies on precision. After a falling out with his father, Lauda

takes a large bank loan and buys his way into the BRM Formula One team, meeting teammate

Clay Regazzoni for the first time. Meanwhile, Hesketh Racing, the fledgling racing team

Hunt drives for, enters Formula One as well. Lauda then joins Scuderia Ferrari with

Regazzoni and wins his first championship in 1975. Hesketh closes shop after failing to

secure a sponsor, but Hunt manages to land a driving position in McLaren after Emerson

Fittipaldi leaves the team. During this time, Hunt marries supermodel Suzy Miller, while

Lauda develops a relationship with socialite Marlene Knaus.


For fans of Formular1 Racing (Julian Ifesiokwu)...lol. This will be a fantastic movie.
