Grand Prix
All the glamour and greatness of the world's most exciting drama of speed and spectacle!
Directed by John Frankenheimer
Produced by Cherokee Productions, Douglas & Lewis Productions
A high-octane 1960s spectacle that interweaves competitive racing drama, romantic entanglement, and personal redemption across the glamorous Formula One circuit.
The most daring drivers in the world have gathered to compete for the 1966 Formula One championship. After a spectacular wreck in the first of a series of races, American wheelman Pete Aron is dropped by his sponsor. Refusing to quit, he joins a Japanese racing team. While juggling his career with a torrid love affair involving an ex-teammate's wife, Pete must also contend with Jean-Pierre Sarti, a French contestant who has previously won two world titles.
