Rush Official Trailer

Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard brings us his next masterpiece, Rush, which tells the incredible tale of Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Based on a true story, the movie focuses on the intense rivalry between the two drivers, culminating when Lauda suffers a near-deadly crash, only to come back weeks later as a challenger to Hunt in the 1976 world championship. Starring Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as Niki Lauda, the movie also features leading lady Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy). While Formula One fans will appreciate the film’s use of vintage race cars, you don’t have to be one to appreciate the epic storyline and amazing cast. Watch the official trailer above and check out the movie, which hits theaters in North America on September 20, 2013.
