High-octane biopic fusing 70s grit with the visceral poetry of speed. A duel of fire and ice where two rivals race toward death to feel truly alive, captured in kinetic, sun-bleached frames.

Rush - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Sean Edwards playing Guy Edwards

Sean Edwards, a professional racing driver, portrays his own father, Guy Edwards, in the scene where he pulls Lauda from the burning Ferrari. Tragically, Sean died in a racing accident just months after the film's release.

The real Alistair Caldwell (McLaren's 1976 team manager) appears as a moustached race official in the background of the Japanese GP press conference, while actor Stephen Mangan plays his character.

Jochen Mass Cameo

The real Jochen Mass drives his own car in the film. A production assistant famously asked him his name for the credits and didn't believe him when he said 'Jochen Mass'.
