The golden age of Formula 1: streamlined forms of racing cars, brutal on the track and vulnerable in ordinary life racers, sexy fans, liters of champagne at the finish line for the winner… Two irreconcilable rivals in the history of racing – charming playboy-Anglo-American James Hunt and disciplined perfectionist-Austrian Niki Lauda – bring themselves to the limit of physical and psychological endurance for the sake of triumph on the track. For them there are no easy paths to victory and no margin for error. A single slip-up to the racers can cost their careers and even their lives.
