Content
The plot of Rush - Everything for the victory to the relationship between Niki Lauda and James Hunt from the perspective of the former, which occurs at a distance of several decades to the events as first-person narrator in the film. Lauda and Hunt meet each other for the first time in 1970 with a Formula 3 race at the Crystal Palace Circuit. Early the very different characteristics of the two drivers are clear: Hunt is a bon vivant with Playboy attitude, Lauda, however, a technique gifted perfectionist. As Lauda later changes at its own expense in the formula 1, also decides the team owner Lord Alexander Hesketh, to compete with Hunt as a driver in the premier class. While Lauda with a lot of ambition and technical expertise rises into the top team Scuderia Ferrari and with this 1975 World Champion, the rather undisciplined Hunt is forced to watch from the cockpit of technically inferior Hesketh cars powerless. After the financial collapse of Hesketh Hunt is there even without a contract for the 1976 Formula 1 season. He reacts depressed and turns to alcohol, resulting in the failure of his marriage.
The turn comes for Hunt, when he takes a cockpit at McLaren Racing after the last-minute cancellation of the pilot Emerson Fittipaldi and so suddenly has a realistic chance to challenge for the Formula 1 World Championship in 1976. The dramatic events of this season are at the heart of the action of Rush - Everything for the victory. Defending champion Lauda wins the first race with confidence. Hunt is disqualified after his first win of the season due to a reference from Lauda to the Marshals because of a slight excess of the allowable vehicle width. The necessary changes to the McLaren then throw Hunt back on. Only later did the disqualification is removed and Hunt gets the points back for the win.
During the season, Lauda marries his fiancée Marlene and gets first doubts about the wisdom of racing existence. Before the Grand Prix of Germany on the North Loop of the Nürburgring Lauda argued in a drivers' meeting for a boycott of the race for safety reasons. With regard to the then almost certainly fixed the World Cup in the driver's field rather unpopular Lauda, however, Hunt can enforce the start. In the race it then to disaster, as Lauda had a serious accident that leads to the race was stopped. Despite life-threatening injuries Lauda missed only two races and attacks from the Italian Grand Prix again in the World Cup. He drives less risky from now on and finished fourth, while Hunt retires.
At the last race in Fuji, which takes place in heavy rain and darkness falls, Lauda security reasons on the second lap. Hunt must now be at least third to win the World Cup yet. However, he is struggling with technical problems and runs for most of the race in the lower ranks. After a final tire change Hunt starts a dramatic comeback and is first seen as a fifth. He apologizes to his team boss Teddy Mayer, Hunt clears however, that the scoreboard is incorrect and it has actually become a third party. This Hunt is by a margin of only one point ahead of World Champion Lauda.
After Hunt has proven that he can beat Lauda, he turns again reinforced his playboy life and can no longer build on the successes of 1976. Lauda, however, is again after his recovery in the following year world champion. At this time, Lauda used in aviation, which he considers to be safer than Formula 1, and he in the years of interruption of his racing career ( 1978-1981 ) exerts a major occupation.
After Lauda's accident is revisited in several times that drivers now treat each other with growing respect. In his final monologue explains Lauda, the fact that Hunt died at the age of 45 of a heart attack, have it, Lauda, by no means surprising, made just sad.
Background
Despite mostly realistic representation is at Rush is not a documentary but a feature film. According to the director of the movie "fiction, inspired by real events " is. Screenwriter Peter Morgan confirmed in an interview that much of dramaturgical reasons had been pointed.
The film contains numerous details that are incorrect in motorsport historical perspective: Temporal relationships are torn apart or compressed, some of the cars shown do not correspond to the historical context, and in some scenes people are swapped. For example, Hesketh joined only in 1972 in Formula 3, and not in 1970, as shown in the film. Niki Lauda in 1972 for March in Formula 1, not only in 1973 with BRM The Hesketh shown in the film 308 as an entry for Hunt in the formula 1 is not correct, Hesketh rose in 1973 with a March privately entered in the Formula 1, the car shown was only used from mid- 1974 by Hesketh. The sponsors on helmets and OVERALS the driver does not correspond to reality, cigarettes sponsors are indeed shown, but partially replaced by other sponsors that do not fit in the time frame, but will appear in the credits under credits and for film production helmets, gloves, cameras have so provided.
The film implies at the beginning of a relationship between Hunt and Lauda, that is apart from sporting rivalry also of resentment and contempt coined. In reality, the two pilots were close friends with each other regardless of athletic competition in 1976. Lauda later explained: " We have made sure that our personal friendship was never our professional relationship in the way ." Lauda stressed today that Hunt was the only one from which he accepted, to be beaten, "because I liked the boys ."
In the Formula 1 season 1976 James Hunt drove a McLaren M23 and Ferrari 312T Niki Lauda one. In the film, mostly not the original racing cars of the 1970s are used. The producers used a copy of the McLaren, which was produced in 2012 by WDK Motorsport. It is powered by a 2.0 -liter four- cylinder engine from Vauxhall.

Reviews
"Even the pathos, the one practiced blockbuster director like Howard then unrestrainedly loose on the audience, prepares mainly on the ultimate pace - trip, on the last extravagant rush of images, which still awaits us. Powered by the breathless cut fireworks he exposes us to a feverish race of perspectives and settings. Without ceasing he lets our eyes jump between individual fragments: steering wheel, side mirrors, gas pedal, subjective point of view. Sometimes, the camera moves so close to their motives that they can be felt even penetrates into the interior of the helmet or by soil provides perspectives an uncomfortable proximity to approach shooting car manufactures. Sweat on his forehead and excitement pulsating eyes extend over the entire canvas, eager to be made visible and move the viewer to the body. "
" After the rather weaker Dilemma Director Ron Howard delivers a remarkable performance. Rush - Everything for the victory is a superbly staffed, adrenaline-filled and moving piece of cinema. A film like a rocket; fast, loud, hot and highly explosive - even for non- Formula 1 lovers ".
" Daniel Brühl supplies in the Formula 1 drama in his role as Niki Lauda a dramatic performance from that is unparalleled. Unfortunately, this fade but his colleagues beside him partially noticeable. But the successful cinema experience does not detract from this. "
