All the glamour and greatness of the world's most exciting drama of speed and spectacle!

Nine races. One champion. James Garner, Yves Montand, Brian Bedford and Antonio Sabato portray Formula 1 drivers competing to be the best in this slam-you-into-the-driver's seat tale of speed, spectacle and intertwined personal lives. Eva Marie Saint and Toshiro Mifune also star.

John Frankenheimer (who 32 years later would again stomp the pedal to the metal for the car chases of Ronin) directs this winner of 3 Academy Awards®, crafting split-screen images to capture the overlapping drama and orchestrating you-are-there POV camerawork to intensify the hard-driving thrills. Nearly 30 top drivers take part in the excitement, so buckle up, movie fans. Race with the best to the head of the pack.

Top 100 Mobile Reviewer

At this bargin price this DVD is a must have for all F1 fans. The story isn't great but it is out shone by the driving. Many of the then F1 drivers are seen and co-operated in the making of the film, most of which are now dead (alot died racing). The Special features are very good showing how the film was made (using A Ford GT40 as a camera car) and interviews with Stirling Moss and Jack Bradham etc recalling the pre-Health & Safety days!!
