Synopsis

Horizon is a 2025 American sports action film directed by David Leitch and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer from a screenplay by Justin Lin, Chris Morgan, and James Wan. The first installment in the Horizon film series, the film's name is partially inspired by the Forza Horizon video game franchise, of which it is based on. It stars Sasha Calle and Cara Delevingne as two professional racers who slowly fall for each other while coming into conflict with an antagonistic rival racer (David Harbour) whose desire and relish to humiliate and defeat them has made him overconfident. The supporting cast features Tony Revolori, Charles Parnell, Jeffrey Wright, Michael Shannon, Kyle Chandler, John Leguizamo, and Angela Basset. Horizon had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on January 24th, 2025, and was released on February 19th; the film was a financial success, grossing $877 million worldwide against a break-even point of $250 million and a budget of $152 million. The film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences as well as many racing fans, with praise for its screenplay, story, direction, the performances of Calle and Delevingne, action sequences, cinematography, Hans Zimmer's musical score, driving scenes, and emotional weight. A sequel entitled Horizon: Rise of the Champions was released one year later.

  • misterwolf @nickienicks @castingsinmyblood @otsutsuki @pumpkinchowcorg and @robertcooper It's time for my first sports film! Welcome to Horizon, partially named after the Forza Horizon video games, and it's actually based on those while also focusing on another lesbian relationship. I do recommend tissues for this one if it's personal for you, but it's an emotional story anyway. Enjoy!

  • misterwolf Ten years later in 2025, Aaliyah now lives with her father Mark and younger brother Javi. She is determined to honor her mother's legacy and become a racer; Mark, after suffering through a series of turndowns finding a professional racing trainer, recalls that his children's godfather Shawn Zimmerman is a trainer and is both super supportive and extremely talented in his work. Shawn agrees to train Aaliyah when he is told that she desires to live up to her family's name.

  • misterwolf Aaliyah later learns from Shawn's sister Lillian that Amara is a lesbian after she reveals to Lillian that she feels strange towards her fellow trainee; over the weeks and months, Aaliyah and Amara bond further, eventually becoming best friends. Meanwhile, Warren Davidson deduces who Aaliyah is and mockingly introduces himself to her. When she insults his rudeness, he slanders and rants about her mother, causing her and Amara to clash with him. During their first racing practice, Warren easily defeats Aaliyah, but Amara is able to turn the tables when she defeats him in Aaliyah's place.

Aaliyah is able to finally reveal her feelings for Amara, who returns those feelings, and the two girls kiss. Now romantic partners, they vow to humiliate Warren by winning the Horizon championship.

  • misterwolf During the next practices, Aaliyah and Amara improve their speed, but during their first real race, Warren defeats them, angering Shawn so much that he berates Warren for disregarding the rules of the Horizon Professional Racing. Warren's equally ruthless cousin Harrison Williams immediately sides with Aaliyah and Amara when he realizes who Warren really is.

  • misterwolf With Scott Zuckerberg and CEO Cliff Farley's help, Shawn oversees Aaliyah and Amara training for the final race. As she retires to her camper, Warren jumps Aaliyah, having deduced that she and Amara are lovers; he reveals that the car who hit Aaliyah's mother was no accident, and this causes her to realize that Warren killed her mother. He then tries to rape her, but Shawn and Amara arrive and knock him unconscious, though not before he breaks Amara's left arm to prevent her from participating in the race. Shawn attempts to call the police, but Aaliyah stops him, reminding him that the race cannot be cancelled. As the final race of the Horizon championship is about to begin, Aaliyah is gifted by Javi and Mark her mother's black red-striped 2010 Dodge Challenger, telling her that it belongs to her now. The race begins, with Aaliyah gaining on Warren as the first lap ends; as the second begins, she realizes that Warren is about her mother's accident, but she pays attention and speeds up, preventing him from pinning her. As the next four laps end, the final lap begins with Aaliyah and Warren taking the lead; Warren attempts to ram Aaliyah, but she fights back and makes him lose control, causing him to lose a wheel and enabling her to fairly win the race. Warren hijacks another car and attempts to run Aaliyah over, but the car is stopped by the police, whom Amara called upon realizing Warren's true intentions. He is arrested and taken into custody.
