Michael Mann’s new movie Ferrari is due to premiere this Christmas. Here’s everything we know about the film, from its release date and trailer to cast, plot, and more.
It’s been a while since Michael Mann has released a film theatrically. A prolific helmer who directed the likes of Thief, Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, and The Insider, Mann hasn’t made a movie since Blackhat in 2015. Possibly because that was both a critical and commercial failure.
He did turn his hand to TV recently, directing the first episode of Tokyo Vice for HBO. He also wrote the novel Heat 2, which served as both a prequel and sequel to one of his most acclaimed movies.
But this year, he returns to his first love via the star-studded biopic Ferrari, which Mann has spent more than 20 years developing. Here’s everything we know about the movie.
Ferrari release date: When’s it out?
Ferrari is set to hit US screens on December 25, 2023, and UK cinemas on December 26, 2023.
The movie received its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2023. You can read our review of the film here.
Ferrari trailer
The first trailer for Ferrari has been released by studio Neon and can be viewed below.
It’s very nearly dialogue-free, with 90 seconds of shots from the movie underscored by music and the revving of engines. But then the trailer ends with Enzo Ferrari stating, in a somewhat threatening fashion: “If you get into one of my cars, you get in to win.”

Ferrari plot: What’s it about?
Here’s the official synopsis, which is based on a script by Troy Kennedy Martin:
“It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino, a year earlier.
“Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.”
