Plot

Senna is the true story of Brazilian motor-racing legend, Ayrton Senna, whom many believe was the greatest driver who ever lived. Spanning Senna’s meteoric Formula One career both on track and off; his quest for perfection and his volatile relationship with the monstrously dictatorial racing governing body. ‘Senna’ is a mesmerising documentary of not just a remarkable driver but a remarkable man. A film that far transcends the need for an interest in the sport.
