Le Mans '66

Racing car driver and engineer Carroll Shelby is lured out of retirement during the 1960s, in a period where the sport is dominated by Italian companies. Ford Motors are hoping to revive their flagging fortunes by launching a racing division and securing a high-profile win at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race. Shelby takes up the challenge of headlining the plan to build a revolutionary new race car, but courts conflict within the company by recruiting unpredictable, short-tempered British driver Ken Miles to take the wheel. Fact-based drama, starring Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal and Caitriona Balfe

Le Mans '66 airs on Film4 at 6:00 PM, Tuesday 21 January. (Subtitles, audio description.)
