About the film
Hitting the Apex is a 2015 British documentary film by Mark Neale, narrated by Brad Pitt. It chronicles the careers of six Grand Prix motorcycle road racers competing in MotoGP: Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner, Marc Márquez, and Marco Simoncelli. Produced by Neale in collaboration with MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, the documentary was developed using extensive archival race footage as well as interviews conducted in English, Spanish and Italian over the 2010–2013 MotoGP seasons.
It covers events such as Simoncelli's death in a 2011 racing incident, Stoner's shocking 2012 retirement, and Márquez's maiden MotoGP championship in 2013.
