About this movie

In the early 1960’s, Ford was drastically losing market share to GM and Chevrolet. The Corvette was crushing Ford at the dealerships and on the track. Henry Ford II was desperate to regain the market share his grandfather had worked so hard to build. While watching the 12 Hours of Sebring, Henry Ford II saw a beautiful red solution to his problems -- Henry Ford II decided to buy Ferrari.

Ratings and reviews

I have always loved the story of Ford vs Ferrari and I thought I knew it pretty well. After watching this I was shocked there was so much I didn't know and how much went into ford winning in the late 60's. This is a must watch for racing fans but my wife who doesn't care about the subject loved it as well. Highly recommend

Re-live Leman in the 60's with Ford battling Ferrari for the top step. The 24 Hour War distills down the people and their motivations while recounting Fords winning years and what led up to Ferrari's exit.

Interesting story and very well made. As other people have already said, you don't have to be into racing or cars to enjoy this.
