Ferrari is a 2023 American biographical sports drama film directed by Michael Mann and written by Troy Kennedy Martin.

Adam Driver portrays the titular subject, and Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gadon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O'Connell, and Patrick Dempsey co-star.

The film was originally set to premiere on the streaming service Showtime,[8] but it was eventually released in the United States theatrically on December 25, 2023, by Neon.

Grappling with both domestic and professional crises, Enzo and his estranged wife, Laura, grieve for their only son, Dino, who died a year prior.

While he has kept Laura from learning of his infidelities, Enzo's mistress, Lina Lardi, pressures him to grant their illegitimate son, Piero, the Ferrari name as his confirmation nears.

Meanwhile, Ferrari's manufacturing company is in terrible financial shape after the groundbreaking development of the team's Formula One car.

During a pit stop in Rome, Enzo's newest addition to the team, Alfonso de Portago, refuses to change tires to stay in the lead.

At Guidizzolo, his car's worn left front tire is sliced open by a damaged cat's eye.

[19] The project stalled until April 2017, when Hugh Jackman entered negotiations to portray Ferrari, and Noomi Rapace as his wife with Paramount no longer involved.

[36][37] The worn cat's eye which the film depicts as causing de Portago's fatal crash was not added in post-production.

[6][7] In the United States and Canada, Ferrari was released alongside The Boys in the Boat and The Color Purple, and was projected to gross around $1 million from 2,330 theaters on its first day.

The website's consensus reads: "Sleek and well-acted, Ferrari overcomes its occasionally underpowered narrative to deliver a rousing and admirably complex biopic.

"[49] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100, based on 55 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.

[8] Marlow Stern of Rolling Stone praised Penélope Cruz's performance, writing: "There is an unstoppable force at the center of Michael Mann's Ferrari.

Add in the glacial pace of its narrative, and a film expected to take an early awards-season lead will struggle to hold that pole position.

[55] Among mixed reviews, Kevin Nguyen of The Verge, wrote that he wanted "to credit Ferrari for being a weirder movie than you might expect for a biopic about a guy who builds iconic sports cars.
