Halfway through a climactic race in “F1 The Movie,” something goes horribly wrong for our heroes. And yet, through a fluke of Formula 1’s complex and inscrutable rules, the underdog Apex Grand Prix team comes out on top. (Don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler. It’s a recurring theme throughout the two-and-a-half-hour-long film.)

Brad Pitt's sports feature F1 The Movie is now in theaters. In the film, Pitt essays the role of an ex-Formula One racer named Sonny Hayes.
