This action-biopic follows an eccentric, determined team of American engineers and designers – led by automotive visionary Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and his British driver, Ken Miles (Christian Bale) – who are dispatched by Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) and Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) with the mission of building from scratch the Ford GT40, a new racing car with the potential to finally defeat the perennially dominant Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.
This is the story of a group of unconventional thinkers who overcame incredible odds to achieve something extraordinary through sheer inventiveness, determination and force of will.
Inspired by a true-life drama about a powerful friendship that forever changed racing history, Ford v Ferrari was a 10-year journey from page to screen for filmmaker James Mangold, the masterful storyteller behind Walk the Line and Logan.

But his Facebook status is about to change. When he is forced to upgrade his phone, the latest model comes with an unexpected feature…Jexi (Rose Byrne) – an AI life coach, virtual assistant and cheerleader. With her help, Phil begins to get a real life.
But as he becomes less dependent on his phone, Jexi’s artificial intelligence morphs into a tech nightmare determined to keep Phil all to herself, even if it means ruining his chances of finding success.
