It’s the must-see movie of the year for car buffs, and after this trailer you’ll understand why.

Directed by Ron Howard and starting Chris Hemsworth (Thor) as British McLaren driver James Hunt, Rush documents a motorsports rivalry between himself and Ferrari racing legend Niki Lauda (played by Daniel Brühl). Based on real life events it details a crash between the two drivers at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring that could have killed Lauda, as well as his struggle to return to racing during the 1976 World Championship at Fuji in Japan.

Rush hits theaters on September 13th.

But enough with the words, get your first taste of Rush below.
