Rush (2013)

Chris Hemsworth earned praise for his dramatic chops in this high-speed sports drama.

He portrays James Hunt, the flamboyant Formula 1 driver who locked horns with rival Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) in the 1970s.

Hemsworth reflected: “It was one of the most satisfying films I’ve ever done. The character was so raw and unapologetic.”
