Rush film review: a tale of two heroes
As Ron Howard's eagerly-anticipated biopic of James Hunt and Niki Lauda hits cinemas, JONATHAN NOBLE delivers AUTOSPORT's verdict - plus insight from Lauda and Howard
It's often said that just as every movie needs a hero, so too it must have a villain.
But Ron Howard's Niki Lauda/James Hunt biopic Rush manages something very different: it's a movie that has no villain, just two heroes.
Whichever side of the fence you sat on either at the time or since - worshipping the partying high-jinks of Hunt, or favouring the intensity and passion of Lauda - Howard has defined them both as men to be looked up to.
