Italy, 1957. Former racer and car manufacturer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Reeling from the death of his son a year earlier, bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. His affair with Lina Lari and his son by her pulls him in other directions.
Michael Mann's career has been made of uncomfortably close examinations of men who excel in a chosen field, or who are guided by an unyielding force - to the detriment of every other aspect in their lives and in their relationships.

Michael Mann's willingness to throw away the conventional approach to racing and driving sequences is to be applauded. Where James Mangold's 'Ford v Ferrari' had slick, orchestrated beats and thundering engines racing across the screen, Mann's 'Ferrari' slaps the camera right in the cockpit and has Patrick Dempsey - himself an accomplished race car driver - race the car through the Italian countryside.
Though thematic parallels exist between Ferrari's personal and professional life, how racing is a head-versus-heart game while Ferrari is drawn to both women in different ways, the whole thing resolves itself in pretty bland fashion for it to be the focal point of the movie.
