Ford v Ferrari is based on true events in the 1960s, when the American car company Ford was struggling to grow its business. Henry Ford II - the company's president - decided to invest in the racing segment to attract young customers. He planned to buy Ferrari - the Italian car company that holds a monopoly in the tournaments - but failed. Derided in the negotiation, Henry Ford II poured his energy into his plan to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They recruited Carroll Shelby - the only American racer to ever win Le Mans, retired. To overcome the Italians dominating the track, Shelby tries to convince Ken Miles - a talented but eccentric racer, to see speed as a reason for life. American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battle corporate interference, the laws of physics and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford and challenge Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.
