Povestea filmului are loc in 1966, in cele 24 de ore ale cursei Le Mans din Franta. Designerul de automobile american Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) vrea sa construiasca o masina revolutionara, cu care sa poata concura impotriva celor de la Ferrari, iar Bale este Ken Miles – pilotul de curse britanic neinfricat care se va urca la volanul noului automobil de curse marca Ford; Ford GT40 a devenit ulterior prima masina americana ce a castigat cursa de anduranta de la Le Mans (cea mai veche din istoria curselor de masini), iar victoria lor s-a repetat de alte patru ori la rand.

As we were making it, we joked that it was the last movie ever. Luckily, we had this great character drama that was inside this other story.” But the old-school approach was crucial in preserving the heart of the film. “These are real people with love and loss and fears that aren’t handled in three mini-moments between the next 100-decibel, 12-minute action sequence. And it’s an acting tour de force — Matt and Christian have never been better,” a declarat James Mangold, cel care a scris si scenariul filmului, alaturi de Jason Keller, Jez si John-Henry Butterworth.

One of the main goals with Logan was that I felt the superhero genre had gotten so CGI’d, so I wanted to make it as emotionally and physically real as possible. And that very much carried over into Ford v Ferrari. I wanted to see a racing film where the cars weren’t all digital creations [and] we were really out there on the track. And not just so we could talk about it when we’re doing press, but because it actually makes a physical difference when you see it on screen,” a adaugat Mangold.
