At the core of ‘Ferrari’ lies a captivating tale set against the backdrop of the scintillating summer of 1957. Amidst the spectacle and peril of the 1950s Formula 1 racing scene, Enzo Ferrari, a former racer, finds himself grappling with a profound crisis. The haunting specter of bankruptcy relentlessly haunts the company he and his devoted wife, Laura, had painstakingly built from the ground up a decade earlier. Tragically burdened by the loss of their beloved son, their tumultuous marriage teeters on the edge of collapse. Furthermore, Enzo Ferrari faces the formidable challenge of acknowledging another child. As his drivers’ relentless thirst for victory pushes them perilously close to the precipice, he makes a daring gamble, risking everything on a single race—the treacherous and iconic 1,000-mile Mille Miglia across Italy.
Drawing inspiration from the profound narrative penned by Troy Kennedy Martin and based on Brock Yates’ acclaimed book, ‘Enzo Ferrari – The Man and the Machine,’ Mann masterfully weaves a tale that seamlessly blends heart-stopping drama, raw emotion, and adrenaline-fueled action. As a result, audiences are poised to embark on a thrilling journey that explores the indomitable spirit of a racing legend.
