One idea is the Ford Mustang, launched by Ford executive Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas); but young upstart Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) has an even bolder suggestion: why not enter Ford in the world’s booming racecar circuit? Sitting center row in a cinema as about as close as I’d want to get to the Le Mans high-speed death traps. As played by Bale, Miles does not fit the Ford profile; he’s cranky and straightforward in his opinions — an “individual” all the way, “not a team player,” in Leo Beebe’s view. Interestingly, Ford v Ferrari is one of the first adult-market films released by Disney through its recently acquired 20th Century Fox studios. There are side bets involving a jealous Beebe and treacherous bits from the Italian team — and the rivalry alone makes Ford v Ferrari worth the ride.
