Director: Michael Mann
Ferrari drops into the summer of 1957, when Enzo Ferrari's automobile company teeters closer to insolvency than its badge would ever suggest. Michael Mann builds a period drama out of that crisis, one where the pressure inside the factory and inside a marriage arrive at the same breaking point.
What is Ferrari about?
By 1957, Enzo Ferrari is watching the company he and his wife Laura built a decade earlier slide toward bankruptcy, and the pressure only tightens as their marriage strains under a mourning they've never made peace with and a second son whose place in the family Enzo has never openly acknowledged. Mann folds boardroom desperation and grief into the shadow of the endurance-racing season, following Ferrari as he pushes his drivers and his damaged household toward the Mille Miglia, an open-road race that could either rescue the company's reputation or shatter what's left of it.
Cast & crew
Adam Driver plays Enzo opposite Penélope Cruz as Laura, with Shailene Woodley, Patrick Dempsey, Jack O'Connell, Gabriel Leone, Giuseppe Festinese and Sarah Gadon filling out the racing world and the family circle around them.
Context & significance
Mann adapted the film from Brock Yates's biography of Enzo Ferrari, a passion project he had been developing on and off for decades before it reached production. The film leans into 1950s Italian racing culture — the Mille Miglia's road-course danger, the era's rivalry between manufacturers, the toll that speed took on drivers and families alike — rather than treating the Ferrari name as pure spectacle. It plays as much like a portrait of a marriage under strain as a motorsport drama.
