A movie about gearheads and cars that go real fast, starring Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby, who designed a machine to compete at Le Mans (bankrolled by Henry Ford), and Christian Bale as Ken Miles, the hot-wired, foot-t0-the-floor driver who knew how to win. The script's mostly functional and the suits for both car companies come off looking like dicks, but the racing scenes are a rush and the picture won Oscars for its editing and sound.
