The movie, written by The Queen and Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan, tells the story of three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda, who returned to the racing track six weeks after a near-death experience in his Ferrari in 1976. Rush follows the tale of Lauda's rivalry with Hunt when he makes his racing comeback to battle Hunt for the F1 championship.
Hunt, who died from a heart attack at the age of 45 in 1993, was one of the leading Formula One drivers of the 1970s, taking the world F1 title from Lauda in 1976.
