F1

F1 has built a real following in Australia on Apple TV and Apple TV Amazon Channel, and in the US on Apple TV and Apple TV Amazon Channel among viewers who want their action grounded in something real. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Brad Pitt anchors the chaos with real screen presence. Start it on Apple TV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

F1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The choreography in F1 serves the story instead of interrupting it. Racing legend Sonny Hayes is coaxed out of retirement to lead a struggling Formula 1 team—and mentor a young hotshot driver—while chasing one more chance at glory. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. It was released in 2025. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Action fans who want craft and story alongside the spectacle will find exactly that in F1. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Brad Pitt's performance is the throughline that holds the bigger action elements together. Give it twenty minutes and decide — most viewers do not stop there.
