STUDIOCANAL presents Ron Howard’s thrilling Formula 1 racing biopic RUSH – starring Chris Hemsworth as bad boy F1 superstar James Hunt and Daniel Brühl as arch rival Niki Lauda. The film makes its UK UHD debut on 29th June, the perfect accompaniment leading into this year’s British Grand Prix, with extras including the amazing real life story behind the film, deleted scenes and a making of featurette. 

Academy Award® winning director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind) once again teams up with Academy Award®-nominated writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon) on this fast-paced and spectacular re-creation of the merciless and legendary 1970s Formula 1rivalry between English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) and his Austrian opponent, Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl, Inglourious Basterds). With fantastic performances from a cast including Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer, Green Wing’s Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt, and Downfall’s Alexandra Maria Lara, adrenalin fuelled, full-throttle action and a marvellously detailed 1970s settings, this is a winner all the way to the chequered flag

Whilst I am certainly no expert when it comes to racing, I loved Rush! Its one of those great sport films that doesn’t require you to be an expert in the sport itself, RUSH brilliantly evokes the feel and excitement of the era and the Formula 1 scene, and the brand new 4K UHD upgrade puts you in the driving seat for some truly thrilling racing sequences that’ll take your breath away. Winner of a BAFTA for Best Editing, this is a superbly entertaining film that’ll pin you to your seat for the duration.

RUSH is available to buy on 4K UHD and Digital from 29th June 2026, and available to pre-order HERE
